===GAC Early Warnings & PIC===
In June 2012 at [[ICANN Prague]], Argentina's [[GAC]] representative told the [[ICANN Board]] that it was against .patagonia as a closed brand TLD, as Patagonia is also the name of a region in South America comprising the southern parts of Argentina and Chile. The statement was followed by a letter on August 3 from Ambassador Alfredo Morelli of Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ICANN's leadership stating the same. According to the Applicant Guidebook, geographic regions listed in ISO 3166 cannot be applied for except as a geoTLD, however the region of Patagonia does not appear under any of the ISO 3166 lists.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10265-the-patagonia-problem The .patagonia problem, domainincite.com]</ref>

The application was subject to two [[GAC]] Early Warnings from the representatives of Chile and Argentina; the warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied. The Argentinean warning notes that Patagonia is a region of Argentina and that the application has no support from national or regional governments.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Patagonia-AR-78254.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353465809000 Patagonia AR, GACweb.ICANN.org]</ref> Via a [[PIC]] submission, the Patagonia company noted that it was hoping to meet with the governments of Chile and Argentina to come to a mutual understanding on the acceptable use of the TLD. As of March 2013, when the PIC was submitted, this meeting had not occurred.<ref>[https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1466 PIC Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 12 March 2013</ref>

Although the United States government initially opposed the [[GAC]] objection to geographic-looking strings such as .patagonia, they put out a statement in July 2013 that revised their position, saying it would remain neutral in the case of .patagonia, thereby allowing the GAC to present a consensus objection regarding the string and all of its [[IDN]] versions.<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>
