In 2009, AT& submitted its comments to the [[NTIA|National Telecommunications Information Administration]] regarding ICANN's Joint Project Agreement with the United States Department of Commerce on the Assessment of the Technological Coordination and Management of the Internet Domain Name and Addressing System. The company emphasized its strong support to ICANN and admitted that the success of the internet governing body in managing the DNS is important because it affects AT&T's consumers, network and business. The company also expressed that it has a direct interest in the predictability, resiliency, security and stability of the DNS. In addition, AT&T emphasized that ICANN needs a meaningful accountability and opined that the internet governing body has not yet matured as a trustworthy steward of the internet identifiers based on the [[White Paper]]. AT&T explained that ICANN refused to take significant steps to become fully accountable to the internet community however its the internet governing body's stake holder groups are prepared to take constructive actions to develop and implement strategies for accountability to ensure ICANN's success.:<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/legacy/comments/2009/dnstransition/061.pdf
