The letter was ICANN org's Pontius Pilate move; "we find no fault and we wash our hands of it". Notice how it laid out all its burdens. You didn't see the word ' you ingrates' but it could have very well been plastered in the subject header.First of all, realpolitik. The .amazon delegation was a foregone conclusion. Why? Because the extant ICANN rules, nominative facts on the ground and the commercial realities makes it so. The political reality is ICANN Org cannot make the ACTO countries a supra-GAC. When the GAC decision was to ask ICANN org to 'facilitate' the negotiations between the parties, that was the GAC's 'duck and run' signal.I take a bet the Reconsideration Request will, after a decent interval and without missing a beat in the current delegation process, be also politely dismissed on a burden of facts.If I were advising ACTO I would tell them to bitch and moan a little more, quietly and grudgingly accept Amazon's latest proffer and declare victory. I would even write the release for the hometown papers for free. [Hint: Go heavy on taking a 2x4 to the head of the giant corporation until they yield to superior reasoning.]-Carlton

The letter borders on prevarication too much. First, it is suggested that ICANN basically figured everything was good so it gave the go-head. Then a few lines down: the parties were still deliberating this whole time. 😃
That said, is it fair to say that this letter is ICANN ORG washing its hands of the whole thing?
