Late last year, ICANN had decided to grant the .amazon new TLD to Jeff Bezos' company. The matter has resurfaced now, with ACTO countries protesting the decision, calling it "illegal and unjust" and an "act of force". #DotAmazon #NetGov https://t.co/cwwLzzK6MB
#ICANN66 GAC Communique drafting ends. There were constructive negotiations on the #dotAmazon issue. Communique will be issued tomorrow!
#ICANN66 GAC Communique drafting, Brazil: what could prevent geo names remaining on the agenda for the long time is a win-win situation where #dotAmazon is delegated to @amazon, but with the consent of the Amazonian countries. Ready to engage with Amazon Inc, if still possible.
#ICANN66 GAC Communique drafting: we’re back after a long break in which the #dotAmazon interested parties worked to find a mutually acceptable text. This is the result...

#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, Belgium: all the other geographic names applied for in first round of #newgTLDs were able to find acceptable solutions for all parties. It would be best if the dot Amazon parties were able to work to find a similar solution for them all.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, Portugal: dot Amazon, if it goes the way the #ICANN Board wants, sets a terrible precedent. Makes it difficult to have trust & confidence in ICANN’s procedures for the next round of #newgTLDs. Need to find right balance amongst dot Amazon stakeholders.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, Switzerland: would be best to exhaust all possible means available between the interested parties. Believe, like the European, that the PICs and their public comment process, should be the basis for this.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, European Commission: encourage #ICANN to exhaust all possible means to facilitate a mutually agreeable solution between @amazon and ACTO countries, based on the Amazon Inc PICs and comments provided by ACTO countries during the public comment period.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, China: encourages additional effort to facilitate conversation between ACTO countries and @amazon about this delicate issue where public policy and commercial interests are at odds with each other.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon: Israel believes there is no further need for delay in delegating dot Amazon.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, USA: unaware of any international consensus that recognises inherent governmental rights regarding geographic names. Issue of geographic names should be discussed in the appropriate forums. Doesn’t support further delay on delegating dot Amazon.
@amazon #ICANN66 GAC, Brazil: The ACTO #dotAmazon proposal developed was much less advantageous to the Amazon countries than @amazon’s original 2015 proposal to those countries.
#ICANN66 GAC #dotAmazon, Brazil: as the ACTO countries were starting to develop a proposal to present to @amazon the Venezuelan crisis erupted, making inter-country dialogue politically difficult. But managed to come up with proposal to share responsibility with Amazon.
CENTR has just published its report on #ICANN65 which took place in #Marrakech last week. As well as updates in the #GAC and @ccNSO sessions, you will find information on #DoH, #DotAmazon, the #Emoji study group and much, much more! Read the report here: https://t.co/eKxRbuJZJH

#ICANN65 GAC communique drafting ends a couple of minutes before 8 pm Marrakech time. The communique has no new advice, but 3 pieces of follow-up on previous advice:
- 2-letter country codes in 2nd level domains
- #dotAmazon
- EPDP Phase 2
#ICANN65 GAC communique drafting: #dotAmazon redrafted text, now moved from (new) “advice" to "follow-up on previous advice”, currently has consensus in the room.

#ICANN65 GAC communique drafting: Some governments suggest moving #dotAmazon advice to “follow-up on previous advice” section. Brazil & Argentina prefer keeping it in new advice section, but turning it into a question asking Board why they believe they’ve followed GAC advice.
#ICANN65 GAC communique: USA states while it abstained from Durban advice on #dotAmazon, it noted at the time its abstention wouldn't prejudice its position on the topic in future. While previous administration abstained, current administration can no longer support such advice.
#ICANN65 GAC communique drafting is back after an extended coffee break. Chair suggests looking at the GAC advice sections before everyone is too tired. First up: new draft GAC advice on #dotAmazon.
