At the [[ICANN 39|39th ICANN Meeting]], held in Cartagena in late 2010, Mr. Fattal use the public forum to comment on the use of the word "terrorist" in a draft of the [[gTLD Applicant Guidebook]]; he outlined the negative implications of using this term and the other related language. He noted that the language was vague, and had the potential to be seen as discriminatory to entire nations and their population. It seemed to associate anyone coming from a U.S. sanctioned country with that negative image. He believed that this direct affront to entire countries threatened ICANN's international, egalitarian mandate and had the potential to cause a disruption of the [[Root Zone|single root Internet]]. ICANN accepted his comments and changed the language of the clause.<ref>[http://www.minc.org/news.aspx?id=430&lang=en News, MINC.org]</ref>
