===Further Recommendations===
 
Following the approval of the [[Applicant Guidebook]], CADNA continued to offer critiques and recommendations to ICANN. These included announcing the date for the second round of gTLD applications; that [[.Brand]] applicants be given a discount on multiple applications; and that ICANN implement a policy that allows trademark owners to register a low cost, one-time block on their marks before the [[Sunrise Period|Sunrise]] or [[Landrush Period]]s. The last recommendation was inspired by a similar policy implemented by [[ICM Registry]] for its [[.xxx]] [[sTLD]].<ref>[http://domainincite.com/cadna-calls-for-mandatory-xxx-style-sunrises/ CADNA calls for Mandatory XXX Style Sunrises]</ref>

===Praise of ICANN & The Multi-Stakeholder Model===
 +
In February, 2012, CADNA issued a statement that it fundamentally supported ICANN and its multi-stakeholder model. It seems the statement was made in response to others' recent criticism of ICANN and the desire by some countries and stakeholders to move authority over the [[Root Zone|root zone]] to the United Nations and its [[ITU|International Telecommunications Union]]. The statement also thanked [[Larry Strickling]] and [[NTIA]] for educating the American business community that it too had to be involved in ICANN's multi-stakeholder model in order to best protect their interests. While CADNA still has problems with [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]], it is still supportive of the organization and is opposed to any effort to strip ICANN of its current authority.<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cadna-supports-the-multi-stakeholder-model-of-internet-governance-140886693.html CADMA Supports The Multi-Stakeholder Model of Internet Governance, PRNewsWire.com]</ref>
