===New gTLD Program===
In November, 2011, Vint Cerf noted that he was "nervous" of ICANN's planned gTLD expansion, which was to proceed in a matter of months. Some of his concerns included the confusion created for end users, potential problems for trademark owners, and possible logistical issues, especially with regards to any new gTLD operators going out of business. Mr. Cerf did added that it seemed too late for any outside intervention into the program, and that it would consequently be important to closely monitor the gTLD expansion process and fix any issues as they arise.<ref>[http://techdailydose.nationaljournal.com/2011/11/former-icann-chairs-voice-conc.php Fomer ICANN Chair Voice Concern, TechDailyDose.NationalJournal.com]</ref>
