Carrie,First, this seems like a non sequitur to me. Can you explain how this is relevant to the work of WP1? I've reviewed the agenda materials at the beginning of this email thread and I don't see the connection.Second, you should be aware that this is not entirely a hypothetical scenario. It is a hypothetical variation on actual events.Third, if two parties (regardless of who they are) apply for the same gTLD, the AGB (the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook, in case you are not familiar with it) details how such "contention sets" may be resolved. So, this is also not really a hypothetical situation. As such, there is no need to speculate or hypothesize the ways in which a contention set could be resolved, and what if any variable could serve to elevate one application above another.Fourth, I would disagree emphatically with your assumption that "the Amazon" (which is a river, by the way, and not any type of geopolitical entity) has some sort of legally cognizable claim to ".Amazon" and further, that that claim (assuming purely for the sake of argument that it has a legal basis) is somehow superior to the intellectual property rights (which are absolutely a legally cognizable claim) of Amazon the company. I recognize that there are those who disagree and that this is indeed a live discussion elsewhere in ICANN.For all of the reasons above, I don't think it's appropriate to raise this question in this forum. We have enough relevant matters to discuss.Thanks.GregOn Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 5:00 PM, Carrie Devorah <carriedev@gmail.com> wrote:I have a hypothetical scenario....Addressing Countries...What if Amazon the company sought the gTLD of .Amazon and Amazon the geographical area wanted .amazonWould .amazon automatically be the Amazon's the geographical or would Amazon be forced to Court to defend what is naturally the Amazon's, the geographicalSincerelyCarrie Devorah--On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 4:55 PM, Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc@gmail.com> wrote:The Adobe Connect link is https://icann.adobeconnect.com/accountability/.On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 4:53 PM, Kavouss Arasteh <kavouss.arasteh@gmail.com> wrote:Dear Jordan,GE.May I request you to kindly advised that ADOBE CONNECTION be sent to meKavouss2015-03-18 20:56 GMT+01:00 Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc@gmail.com>:_______________________________________________The call is not for another hour and four minutes.Greg ShatanOn Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 3:41 PM, <villa@reduniv.edu.cu> wrote:hi allI’m being unable to enter the room this afternoon.
