==Reaction to Schwartz Resignation from ICANN==

During the [[42nd ICANN International public meeting]] in Singapore on June 2011, [[ICANN CEO]] [[Rod Beckstrom]] expressed his fears that the Internet governing body may lose highly qualified staffers due to the implementation of the new [[gTLD]] programs in 2012, as companies were tapping well-experienced individuals in the domain industry (including ICANN employees) to lead their new gTLD applications. The first ICANN staff member to resign was Schwarts, who had served ICANN for six years. This led the Internet community to call for the improvement and revisions of ICANN's ethics policies.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/calls-to-fix-new-gtld-revolving-door-at-icann/ Calls to fix new gTLD “revolving door” at ICANN]</ref> The [[ANA|Association of National Advertisers]], [[Coalition for Online Accountability]], [[International Trademark Association]], [[American IP Law Association]] and the French government asked ICANN to revise its conflict of interest policy and suggested the implementation of a revolving-door prevention policy.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/would-an-icann-ethics-policy-break-the-law/ Would an ICANN ethics policy break the law?]</ref>
