During the [[Munich Conference on new gTLds]] that was held in October 2013, Mr. Chehadé made a keynote address that focused on his plan to break the ties that the United States government has with [[ICANN]]. He stressed that the powerful role the government has over the [[DNS]] root zone is not sustainable for the future, but warned that breaking ties could create a governance vacuum that could be cause for concern. He also referenced recent news regarding Internet surveillance by the U.S. government as cause for speeding up the process.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/14888-chehade-talks-up-split-from-us-oversight Chehade talks up Split from US Oversight, Domain Incite] Retrieved 04 Nov 2013</ref><ref>[http://newdomains.org/ NewDomains.org]</ref> View the video of Mr. Chehadé's address at the conference [http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/kits/video-chehade-new-gtld-munich-28oct13-en.htm here].

==Implementation vs. Policy Development==
While a longstanding issue within the ICANN community, the difference and use of implementation procedures and policy development began to reach a noticeable head throughout 2012 and into 2013. Strictly speaking, anything that is "ICANN Policy" needs to go through its various [[SO|supporting organizations]] and be approved, while implementation refers to matters adopted by the [[ICANN Board]] regardless of any consultation to the rest of the community. ICANN is supposed to be driven by bottom-up, consensus policy development, and this often results in the organization making slow progress. Implementation procedures are necessary to accommodate the practical issues related to organizational effectiveness.<ref name="Race">[http://www.bna.com/race-toward-new-b17179871911/ Race Toward New, BNA.com]Published 17 Jan 2013, Retrieved 18 Jan</ref>
Issues that have recently sparked debates over implementation vs. policy development:
* Special protections were given to the [[IOC|Internaional Olympic Comittee]] and [[Red Cross]]/Red Crescent in 2012 with regards to their marks across all New gTLDs. This action was approved by the [[ICANN Board]] despite the fact that the [[GNSO]] was still debating the issue though still largely against the special protections.
* In 2012, the registry agreements for [[.com]] and [[.net]] were renewed without requirements for a "thick" [[Whois]], despite policy development that was working for such requirements.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10300-why-com-still-doesnt-have-a-thick-whois Why Com Still Doesnt Have Thick Whois, DomainIncite.com]Published Aug 31 2012, Retrieve 18 Jan 2013</ref>
* The current model of the [[Trademark Clearinghouse]] and [[URSS|Uniform Rapid Suspension System]] did not come from the policy that was drafted on trademark issues but rather special groups, including the [[IRT|Implementation Review Team]].
* Further trademark issues appear to be forthcoming via implementation and not policy development after closed-door meetings in late 2012 with business and IP interests within the community.<ref name="Race"></ref> This is known as the "[[Strawman Solution]]".<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/tmch-strawman-30nov12-en.htm TMCH Strawman, ICANN.org] 30 Nov 2012, Retrieved 18 Jan 2013</ref>
