A research entitled "The gTLD-MoU: A Yellow Flag for Trademark Owners on the Information Superhighway" cited Andy Sernovitz, President of the Association for Interactive Media who cautioned the internet community about the negative implications of focusing intently on the gTLD-MoU proposals introduced by the IAHC. He was quoted for saying that the initiators of the gTLD-MoU particularly IAHC & iPOC are working to
"complete their takeover of the domain name system before this committee and the administration can implement their own plans. They pretend to offer cooperation, yet they are actively setting up assets and infrastructure offshore to complete a takeover as soon as possible." <ref>[http://www.ipmall.org/hosted_resources/IDEA/38_IDEA/38-2_IDEA_281_Fingerhut.pdf The gTLD-MoU: A Yellow Flag for Trademark Owners on the Information Superhighway]</ref>
