[CPWG] Board resolution regarding .amazon

[Marita Moll]

Well, looks to me like it has just been punted to the CEO (or his 
designate) who will make a proposal to the board. I don't have a better 
solution to this messy situation but I sure hope we come up with some 
policy in the geo-names work groups which would prevent this kind of 
battle in the future.
