===ANA Members' new gTLD Bids===
Despite ANA's opposition to the program it was common knowledge that many of its largest members would still be making new gTLD bids. This was generally suspected, but in some cases had already been announced, such as the .canon bid announced by ANA member Canon.<ref>[http://www.brandchannel.com/home/post/2011/10/21/gTLD-Dot-Branding-Deloitte-Canon-Motorola-102111.aspx gTLD Dot Branding Deloitte Canon Motorola, BrandChannel.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.ana.net/members/list Members List, ANA.net]</ref> This was further confirmed in January 2012, just days before the launch of the [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]], when [[Melbourne IT]] announced it was working on over 100 new gTLD applications for clients, including ANA members.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/melbourne-it-involved-in-100-gtld-applications/ Melbourne IT involved in 100 gTLD applications, DomainIncite.com]</ref>

===Do Not Sell List Proposal===
A few days prior to the scheduled implementation of the new gTLD program, ANA accepted that ICANN will not delay its schedule and proposed the "Do Not Sell List" as a solution to the concerns of brand owners. The Do Not Sell List will include all the brand names of NGO's, IGO's and commercial stakeholders concerned in protecting their brands will be registered temporarily at no cost and it will be maintained by ICANN during the first round of application. ANA volunteered to organize a team of interested constituencies to work with ICANN during the first round of application to address the issues raised by each organization in the list. If no agreement was met after the first round of application, all parties will be free to pursue their legal and equitable rights without prejudice.<ref>[http://www.ana.net/content/show/id/icann-letter-010912 Open Letter to ICANN Board: Answers Needed as Objections Mount]</ref>
