Nations of the Amazon are seeking “shared governance” of the .amazon TLD
It's interesting that they want .amazon specifically for tourism/commerical purposes, because it's the English spelling, which is not used locally.Because if it were for locals, it would be .amazonia and .amazonas. (Similarly to how Germany is .de, not .gr or something like that.)And not that tourism means they don't deserve the name... but it's not like this has anything to do with indigenous rights or a business trampling a people.It's just a globally-known tourism business vs. a globally-known shopping business.So not exactly something I can find myself caring about much. What do ICANN's rules already say? Does it go to whoever first registers, or whoever pays the most?
