In August 20, 2010, the [[.JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition]] sent a letter to the ICANN Board to reconsider its decision regarding the approval of the Phase Allocation Program. According to the coalition, the program is a violation of Employ Media's .jobs charter and the amendment issued by its PDP Council did not authorize the registry operator to change the charter. The coalition emphasized that any changes in the charter should be submitted to the [[ICANN Board]] for consideration and based on broad input from the ICANN community and affected parties. In addition, the coalition also pointed out that their members' businesses were negatively affected by the program; members of the .JOBS Charter Coalition include:<ref>

On October 21, 2010, the .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition reiterated its complaint to the ICANN Board that Employ Media violated its charter by disregarding the rights of third parties. To prove its allegation, the coalition cited that Employ Media allowed the registration nativeamerican.jobs, which is closely similar to the nativeamericanjobs.com owned by the Assiniboine Sioux tribe which was registered since 2000. The coalition also added that the nativeamerican.jobs is promoting and offering job board service instead of conducting human resource management service. The coalition also emphasized that Employ Media is using the Phase Allocation Program to change the .jobs TLD to a generic employment services theme park.<ref>[http://archive.icann.org/en/committees/reconsideration/coalition-memo-to-bgc-21oct10-en.pdf The JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition Letter to ICANN Regarding nativeamerican.jobs]</ref> <ref>[http://domainincite.com/native-american-domain-gives-jobs-critics-ammo/ Native American domain gives .jobs critics ammo]</ref>

On November 4, 2010, the coalition once again sent a letter to the ICANN Board with detailed explanation supporting its allegation that Employ Media violated its charter and reiterated its strong objection of the registry's plan to introduce thousands of .jobs domain names. On Dec 17, the coalition filed a formal notice with ICANN's compliance department regarding the universe.jobs website that was launched by the Direct Employers Association, a partner of Employ Media. They also encouraged ICANN to stop the operations of the universe.jobs website.<ref>[http://archive.icann.org/en/committees/reconsideration/reconsideration-jobs-supplement-04nov10-en.pdf Reconsideration 10-2; .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition]</ref> <ref>[http://domainincite.com/jobs-opponents-get-to-the-point/ .jobs opponents get to the point]</ref> <ref>[http://domainincite.com/coalition-complains-to-icann-about-universe-jobs/ Coalition complains to ICANN about Universe.jobs]</ref>
