==ICANN Auction==
In one of the first few public [[ICANN auction]]s to occur for the [[New gTLD Program]] that officially launched in 2012, Amazon won the rights to the string over the other applicants, who withdrew their applications as a result.
The auction occurred 17 September 2014, along with two other ICANN auctions for [[.tech]] and [[.vip]]. The winning price was $4,588,888 US Dollars. Unlike [[Private auction]]s, the winning price will not be split among the losing applicants, but will be held by [[ICANN]] and used towards a non-profit charity that is yet to be clarified.<ref>[https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/auctionresults Auction Results] ''ICANN.org''; Retrieved 19 September 2014</ref>
