2f: Application for dot.Amazon and related strings

The GAC received an update from Brazil, supported by Peru and Venezuela, regarding the proposal submitted by Amazon.com at ICANN 60. 

Member governments of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) have established a process for analysing the proposal through an urgent and comprehensive review, and this analysis is progressing. The GAC was informed that Amazon.com and Board members have made themselves available to assist if requested. This factual update was also provided to the ICANN Board at the face to face meeting with the GAC.

The GAC agreed to reply in writing to ICANN Board Resolutions 2017.10.29.02 and 2017.10.29.03, noting the above update and stating that it has no additional information to provide at this time. The letter to the Board is attached to the Communique and was also sent separately.
