Here is their response. They have added a few links to QGIS.ORG probably not satisfactory yet…can you collaboratively give me some talking points for the reply and I will put it together in a response to them.

There is another domain linked to your web site which contravenes our Trademark requirements: https://qgischile.cl <https://qgischile.cl/>. It uses the word ‘QGIS’ in the domain nameWhile we do encourage you to advertise the fact that you are supporting QGIS financially (and hopefully within the Chile GIS community too!), we do not allow the use of our trademark in domain names. We provide a detailed page here which outlines fair use policies etc.:

> To make it clear, we welcome and encourage you to carry out commercial activities around QGIS, you just need to make it really clear when you refer to QGIS that it is a product of QGIS.org and not your own company.
