This is ridiculous bull shit and donuts (http://www.donuts.co/)
The new gTLD domain names that have the word Eco on the left of the dot were in the process of being taken back by the Donuts Registry.
These names were registered and given to the registrants legitimately!!!
"The issue is the domains should not have been issued in the first place by Donuts, as Eco is on the ICANN restricted and reserved list of protected organizations and NGOâs which you can find here:
http://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/reserved-names/ReservedNames.xml"
This was a Donuts mistake and they MUST make restitution on all names taken away to the registrants!

Statement from Donuts
We understand the confusion regarding certain âecoâ second level registrations. Donuts inadvertently made this string available for registration due to a registry error and is sorry for the inconvenience.
We WISH we could sell the name, and frustrating as it may be, the string is on ICANNâs restricted list (and Donuts is managing more than 600,000 names under restriction for various reasons, not including NXD names, which could total more than 1 million), so we were obligated to take this step in order for Donuts, registrars and registrants to be in compliance with ICANN requirements.
Do the right thing and stop screwing the people that are putting you on the map!
