- input_sh 7y agoI vaguely remember something along the lines of using "Amazon isn't spelled Amazon in any of the countries in South America" as an argument. A pretty stupid argument if you ask me.
- mkl 7y agoIt's not even technically correct: Guyana's official language is English. (Though it just barely includes any of the Amazon basin.)
- rmsaksida 7y agoThis is what the ACTO requested [0]: - a joint steering committee (ACTO and Amazon) for .amazon, giving ACTO countries the right to veto domains; - delegation of second-level domains to ACTO countries; - commitment from Amazon not to register domains that have significance to the region. I haven't seen any news that suggest they were trying to extract money out of Amazon. It was Amazon that was flaunting money at ACTO.
