Hi colleagues. I am at the ICANN meeting in Abu Dhabi where a big battle 
is shaping up over who gets to use the word Amazon as a top level domain 
-- as in .amazon. Should it be a mega U.S. based retailer or the people 
of the Amazon represented by the government of Brazil? Not that it is 
going to be up to us, but I thought it would be fun to do a straw poll 
-- what do you think? Which way should it go? At the very least, I can 
throw your comments into the mix in a multistakeholder policy meeting.

Here is some background on this controversy:

If you feel so inclined, just send me back a

Yes = let Amazon (Jeff Bezos) have it

No = it belongs to the people of that region

Cheers

Marita
