* The ICA has long supported initiatives within ICANN to create new [[gTLD]]s, and has chastised those moves that slow down the process, often taking on the [[GAC]], and the U.S. [[DOC|Department of Commerce]] for their oppositional stances.<ref>[http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2009/dailyposts/20091001.htm DNJournal.com Daily Posts]</ref><ref>[http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2009/dailyposts/20091001.htm DNJournal.com]</ref>

* In May, 2011, the ICA and [[Oversee.net]] chastised ICANN for poor wording with regards to [[Domain Parking|domain parking]] in its new [[TLD]] guidebook. ICANN's guidebook asked applicants about their stances on allowing domain parking, and seemed to cast the act as a negative social action. Thus, the ICA and others saw ICANN as overstepping its boundaries and effectively monitoring content on the Internet.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2011/05/16/oversee-net-and-ica-blast-icann-on-domain-parking-mention-in-new-tld-guidebook/ ICA Blasts ICANN on Domain Parking - DomainNameWire.com]</ref>
