Although the United States government initially opposed the [[GAC]] objection to geographic-looking strings such as .广州, they put out a statement in July 2013 that revised their position, saying it would remain neutral in the case of .广州, thereby allowing the GAC to present a consensus objection regarding the [[IDN]] string.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/13637-amazons-dot-brand-likely-doomed-as-us-withdraws-geo-objection?goback=%2Egde_1840166_member_255992449 Amazons dot brand likely doomed, Domain Incite] Retrieved Oct 4 2013</ref>
