Criticism of the CPH edit
In April, 2011, Avri Doria, in a post on CircleID, criticized the CPH for its lack of transparency and accountability, as called for by the ICANN Bylaws and its Multistakeholder Model. Registries argue that their contract is between themselves and ICANN, which should not include the medley of public opinion and comment. Their concern is that this external commentary affects their direct bargain and that it limits their say in their regulation, which will affect the Commercial as well as Non-Commercial users of the DNS in particular, and the ICANN community in general.[3]
