→Employ Media Arbitration Proceedings vs. ICANN
In May 2011, Employ Media filed an arbitration proceeding with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) International Court of Arbitration to resolve the notice of breach to the .jobs registry agreement issued by ICANN after its cooperative agreement proceedings with the internet governing collapsed. According to Thomas Embrescia, the arbitration is necessary to remove the “unwarranted and unprecedented threat of contract termination” that caused uncertainties to the .jobs TLD and to his business.<ref>[http://www.ere.net/tags/dotjobs/ .Jobs Manager Seeks Arbitration by International Court]</ref>

The cooperative agreement between the two organizations failed after Employ Media objected to ICANN’s publication of their cooperative agreement correspondences in connection with the notice of breach and described it as “bad faith action” on the part of the internet governing body. On the other hand, ICANN’s legal counsel Eric Enson responded that the internet governing body was just carrying out its accountability and transparency responsibilities to the internet community when it posted the details of their cooperative negotiations. Furthermore, Enson accused Employ Media that it “has no intention to work with ICANN cooperatively to resolve the problem” and its lawyer Arif Ali of “legal posturing,” which was “seemingly geared solely towards use in future litigation” <ref>[ http://domainincite.com/war-of-words-over-jobs-breach-claims/ War of Words Over Jobs Breach Claims]</ref>

On July 2011, ICANN responded to Employ Media’s request for arbitration. The internet governing body remained firm and strongly defended its decision that the notice of breach to the .jobs registry agreement issued to Employ Media was appropriate and requested the arbitration court to dismiss the case and to deny the registry operator’s request for relief.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:qMFYxr-vmqIJ:www.icann.org/en/news/litigation/employ-media-v-icann/answer-to-request-for-arbitration-22jul11-en.pdf+ICANN+and+Employ+Media+Arbitration&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjKphDhfLHf-8xZ8E8tqSayBuA1SGJina6mbbyq27szb-P7a_i2V79KHJD6nHhFjxUpYO2Td97VLx1rBkJs-Ht1k7bVuM4WTuqtNgZAAGXUFI5cUfWKjkYethxEPH9QAlGAfveP&sig=AHIEtbSXxXw7kr2bKyU4voSfKp_-UqOl7w ICANN’s Response to Employ Media’s Request for Arbitration]</ref>
