NIC Argentina offered prizes to object to .patagonia
Argentinian ccTLD manager NIC Argentina offered its Twitter followers prizes if they commented on the controversial .patagonia gTLD application.
Earlier this week, the company tweeted a few times:
Mandanos el ID de tu comentario en ICANN con #NoAPuntoPatagonia y participá por uno de los 20 kits de calcos de @nicargentina
— Nic Argentina (.ar) (@nicargentina) September 25, 2012
My Spanish isn’t great, but this appears to be a prize draw for “kits de calcos” — stickers or decals of some kind — for followers submitting comments against .patagonia.
The .patagonia application, a dot-brand bid filed by a clothing retailer, has caused a huge ruckus in Argentina, where Patagonia is a large geographic region.
The application has received over 1,500 comments to date, pretty much all of which are from disgruntled Latin Americans.
