→Comments on ICANN Policy Issues
On April 1, 2010, NCUC also commented regarding the [[URS|Uniform Rapid Suspension]] (URS) System and the Trademark Clearing House Proposals that were revised by ICANN Staff. The Constituency cited that both documents represent the main deliberations and conclusions of GNSO's [[STI|Special Trademark Issues Team]], however, the Constituency found that some specific issues doesn't substantially coincide with the GNSO-STI recommendations. It also noticed that although ICANN Staff tried to consolidate the opinions of the Internet community regarding the issues but they believed that staff comments were added to the policy and pointed that it is arbitrary, unjustifiable and illegal.<ref>[http://ncdnhc.org/profiles/blogs/ncuc-comments-on-the-uniform NCUC Comments on Uniform Rapid Suspension System and Trademark Clearing House Proposals]</ref>

===Strawman Solution===
There was a general disapproval of closed door meetings convened in November, 2012, by new ICANN CEO, [[Fadi Chehadé]], at the bequest of ICANN's [[IPC|Intellectual Property Constituency]] and [[Business Constituency]], and Ms. [[Maria Farrell]] of the NCUC was the first to submit an official complaint to the [[ICANN Ombudsman]].<ref>[http://domainincite.com/11294-ombudsman-probing-secretive-trademark-clearinghouse-meetings Ombudsman Probing Secretive Trademark Clearinghouse Meetings, DomainIncite]Published December 12 2012, Retrieved 25 Jan 2013</ref> In a public post she went on the explain, "The complaint is not simply about lack of consultation of constituencies, but about secrecy of the process re. notice, transcripts and documentation, and how it undermines the existing processes whilst privileging a particular interest group." The complaint was brought up by the Ombudsman who asked for further input. However, ICANN CEO [[Fadi Chehadé]] admitted some 2 months later that convening the meetings and producing the [[Trademark Clearinghouse#Strawman Solution|Strawman Solution to the Trademark Clearinghouse]] was the biggest mistake of his first months as CEO.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/11732-industry-man-chehade-admits-strawman-mistake Industry Man Chehade Admits Strawman Mistake, DomainIncite.com]Published and Retrieved 25 Jan 2013</ref>
