→Employ Media Arbitration Against ICANN
Employ Media responded to ICANN's notice of breach with disappointment and argued that its new registry service-the universe.jobs website is in compliance with Phase Allocation Program, which was approved by ICANN. Employ media agreed to resolve the issue through the cooperative engagement provision of the .jobs registry agreement. However, the company emphasized that it is not waving its rights or remedies against ICANN regarding any issue and reserves its right to resolve the problem in any appropriate forum. Brian Johnson, Employ Media's vice president and general counsel was named as the company's representative to ICANN.<ref>

On May 2011, Employ Media filed an arbitration request with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) International Court of Arbitration to the notice of breach issued by ICANN on the .jobs registry agreement. The company abandoned its cooperative agreement proceedings with ICANN after accusing the internet governing body of "bad faith action" when ICANN posted the terms of their negotiation on its website. ICANN's legal counsel Eric Enson explained that the internet governing is just performing its duty to maintain accountability and transparency when it published their correspondences related to the issue. Enso accused Employ Media that it “has no intention to work with ICANN cooperatively to resolve the problem” and its lawyer Arif Ali of “legal posturing,” which was “seemingly geared solely towards use in future litigation.”<ref>[http://www.ere.net/tags/dotjobs/ .Jobs Manager Seeks Arbitration by International Court]</ref> <ref>[http://domainincite.com/war-of-words-over-jobs-breach-claims/ War of Words Over Jobs Breach Claims]</ref>

On July 11, 2011, ICANN filed its response to the arbitration request of Employ Media. The internet governing body strongly defended its notice of breach against the company and remained firm that its decision was appropriate. ICANN also asked the arbitration court to deny Employ Media's request for relief.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:qMFYxr-vmqIJ:www.icann.org/en/news/litigation/employ-media-v-icann/answer-to-request-for-arbitration-22jul11-en.pdf+ICANN+and+Employ+Media+Arbitration&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjKphDhfLHf-8xZ8E8tqSayBuA1SGJina6mbbyq27szb-P7a_i2V79KHJD6nHhFjxUpYO2Td97VLx1rBkJs-Ht1k7bVuM4WTuqtNgZAAGXUFI5cUfWKjkYethxEPH9QAlGAfveP&sig=AHIEtbSXxXw7kr2bKyU4voSfKp_-UqOl7w ICANN’s Response to Employ Media’s Request for Arbitration]</ref>
