==ICANN NGPC Accepts GAC Advice==
In May 2014, ICANN's [[NGPC]] announced it would be accepting the [[GAC]] advice that the current application for .amazon should not proceed as it is, since governments from the Amazon biome region, specifically Brazil and Peru, have objected to the string on grounds that Amazon the company would not allow for use of the domains in the public interest and related to the protection and promotion of this region.
It is unclear what steps Amazon will take next. The Japanese and Chinese versions of the string "amazon" will also not proceed.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/16688-amazons-bid-for-amazon-is-dead Amazon's Bid for .amazon is Dead, DomainIncite] Retrieved 19 May 2014</ref>
