MAAWG also provided comments on the following issues:
* '''ICANN Study on the Prevalence of Domain Names Registered using a Privacy or Proxy Registration Service among the top 5 [[gTLD]]s''' - MAAWAG commented that the result of ICANN's study, which found that approximately 20% of domains use proxy or privacy service, is consistent with their own observation on the matter, including the fact that a majority of those 20% do not provide any information regarding the beneficial user's identity. In addition, MAAWAG encouraged ICANN to further investigate whether there were TLDs/Registrars with disproportionately high or low numbers of proxy or privacy registration. The organization also agreed that ICANN's plan to conduct further proxy/privacy studies to document the relay and reveal practices of proxy/privacy services was important and encouraged ICANN to implement its plan as soon as possible.<ref>[http://www.maawg.org/sites/maawg/files/news/MAAWG_ICANN_Study_Prevalence_Domains%202010-10.pdf ICANN Study on the Prevalence of Domain Names Registered using a Privacy or Proxy Registration Service among the top 5 gTLDs]</ref>

* '''ICANN’s proposed 2011 Plan for Enhancing Internet Security, Stability and Resiliency''' - MAAWAG concurred that ICANN should define its limited role in the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet in the 2009 plan to avoid letting the mission creeping into inappropriate areas. MAAWAG also emphasized that ICANN must recognize the extent of its mission and role in relationship with other organizations. The organization cited that ICANN's primary mission was related to the [[DNS|domain name system]], and its role was to ensure that the stability, security, resiliency, and scalability of the internet was always maintained. MAAWAG also pointed that ICANN is also responsible for collaborating with different organizations, government agencies and the global internet community in fighting against abuse of the DNS.<ref>[http://www.maawg.org/sites/maawg/files/news/MAAWG_ICANN_Enhancing_Security_Stability_Resiliency_2010-11.pdf Comments on ICANN’s proposed 2011 Plan for Enhancing Internet Security, Stability and Resiliency]</ref>

* '''ICANN Whois Review Team''' - MAAWAG recommended that ICANN should require [[registry|registries]] to adopt the "thick" [[Whois]] Service, in order to be able to provide reliable service and standardized report formats. The organization is against the proposal that only law enforcement agencies should be allowed access to the Whois database, and suggested that the accuracy and reliability of the Whois service should be maintained. In addition, MAAWAG encouraged ICANN to provide a quarterly summary report on the volume of inaccuracy incident reports received through the WHOIS Data Problem Reporting System ([[WDPRS]]) and encouraged the [[Whois Review Team]] to include technological improvements on the Whois service.<ref>[http://www.maawg.org/sites/maawg/files/news/MAAWG_ICANN_WHOIS_Review_2011-04.pdf Comments on Whois Review Team]</ref>

MAAWAG also observed a 17.9% increase on the budget allocated for Global Engagement and International Participation, compared with the FY 2011 budget. The organization also noted that no specific budget had been allocated to improve the zone file access, and the effort provided to reach out to the law enforcement needs of the community was limited. In addition, MAAWAG pointed out that ICANN's operating expenses increased by 13%, whereas its revenue was only up by 6.5%. Given those facts, MAAWAG suggested that ICANN should take measures to reduce its expenditures or to increase its revenues.<ref>
