Mr. Fattal does not support [[ICANN]]'s policy of | Mr. Fattal does not support [[ICANN]]'s policy of screening every [[gTLD]] application according to the laws of U.S Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and SDN list.<ref>[http://www.minc.org/news.aspx?id=430&lang=en MINC]</ref> This policy is published in 7th and final [[gTLD Applicant Guidebook]] discussed at the [[ICANN 41]] meeting held in Singapore in June, 2011. Fattal is of the view that [[ICANN]] has took a serious risk in publishing this rule. Other countries will get a view that the internet reaching them is filtered through US laws which can lead to objection on ICANN's partial behavior. They might as well start thinking about creating their own [[Root Zone|internet root]], which would be the end of a single, global Internet.<ref>[http://www.pressking.com/press-releases/US-Laws-Remain-Set-To-Govern-The-Coming-Multilingual-Internet-thru-ICANN-s-New-gTLDs--003708 pressking]</ref> | ||
