<div>Totally agree with Alan’s analysis. I haven’s seen any real debate or rationale, even none from our government. As I already said. If it was so relevant for our population why our Patent Office granted the trade mark to AMAZON? The use of such brand will
be, in this case, similar to .amazon use. I do not see and I believe Amazon .com made it clear that this is brand TLD.</div>

<div>I have a somewhat different viewpoint. It is true that the position of the GAC and its advice may be changing, but we need to look at the specifics of this particular case.<br>
<br>
The GAC has given lots of advice. Some is followed, some is rejected and in some cases a middle-ground is found. In all such cases, there is plenty of debate and discussion. In the case of .amazon, the GAC provided no rationale for the advice (they were not
required to at the time). But more surprisingly, the Board did not subject this to debate but rather, and without rationale (which WAS required!) simply accepted the GAC advice. The IRP, in my mind, is simply recognizing that the Board did not follow its usual
and proper practice of attempting to balance competing interests in this case.<br>

Recent developments, especially this empowered community model, has already undermined the "GAC advises, Board follows" scheme. I see this IRP decision as adding grist to the mill in any downstream federal court action. If and when a federal district court
makes that pronouncement, then stick a fork in it. It is roasted.<br>
