Amazon's application was issued a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden.

The warning states that the applicant is "seeking exclusive access to a common generic string .. that relates to a broad market sector," which Ms. Dryden notes could have unintended consequences and a negative impact on competition.[3]
