ANA had nearly non-existent participation during the years that ICANN spent creating the gTLD program, though they were aware of it. Some have argued that the sudden campaign against new TLDs and ICANN is a belated attempt to save face with its members for its lack of participation in creating the program. Responding to a letter sent in October, 2011, [[Rod Beckstrom]] pointed out that a number of suggestions that ANA had made during a 2008 comments session were incorporated into the current version of the program.<ref>[http://www.domainnews.com/en/american-association-of-national-advertisers-huff-and-puff-over-new-gtlds.html ANA Huff and Puff over New gTLDs, domainnews.com]</ref>
