Well, looks to me like it has just been punted to the CEO (or his designate) who will make a proposal to the board. I don't have a better solution to this messy situation but I sure hope we come up with some policy in the geo-names work groups which would prevent this kind of battle in the future.

The latest Board resolution about ,amazon is great news. Thank you for sharing Sebastian.
For me it highlights a discussion that took place in May with regards to the possibility of governments and applicants sharing the benefits of a domain name. There was a small group who saw this as a possible solution for further discussion but it got side tracked by those who didn't. I had supported it from the viewpoint of a UN protocol in another area completely, but relating the concept to parties being able to negotiate how they might share the benefits that could come out of the use of a particular geographic term as a domain name. This Board decision suggests that some consideration should be given to the concept to help to resolve conflicts between governments and applicants over geographic terms.

Resolved (2018.09.16.12), ICANN's President and CEO is directed to support the development of a solution for delegation of the strings represented in the .AMAZON applications that includes sharing the use of those top-level domains with the ACTO member states to support the cultural heritage of the countries in the Amazonian region.
