The ICA identifies [[ICANN]] and the U.S. government as the bodies it tries hardest to monitor and work with; and it claims to be the only trade group working with and within these bodies.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2010/08/23/catching-up-with-the-internet-commerce-association/ Domain Name Wire]</ref> The ICA was created in 2006, following the lawsuit between [[ICANN]] and [[Verisign]].
