===Stronger Decision Making Model===
While still supporting the organization, Secretary Strickling called on ICANN to make a stronger consensus making model so as to limit the number of complaints that skip the process and appeal directly to the ICANN Board. This could be read at a criticism of the amount of attention and overall affect that the [[ANA|Association of National Advertisers]] had on the ICANN process when it started an anti-gTLD expansion effort with the Board and the U.S. Government. Secretary Strickling says it is not healthy for the ICANN Board to pick winners and losers and that the debates need to happen in the bottom tiers of the multi-stakeholder model.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/strickling-says-icann-needs-a-stronger-bottom/ Strickling says ICANN needs a Stronger Bottom, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
