Interested entities were encouraged to submit their proposals until December 12, 2011. <ref>[https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=c564af28581edb2a7b9441eccfd6391d&tab=core&_cview=0 IANA RFP-Solicitation Number: SA1301-12-RP-IANA]</ref> A few members of the internet community believe that ICANN is expected to win the IANA contract and view NTIA's decision to remove the "consensus report" as a "softening language" and the inclusion of conflict of interest policy is one of the most significant issue facing ICANN.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/us-puts-icann-contract-up-for-rebid/ US puts ICANN contract up for rebid]</ref> The issue of conflict of interest was raised by the global internet community after the departure [[Peter Dengate Thrush]] from his position as ICANN Chairman and a strong proponent of the new [[gTLD]] expansion program immediately joined [[Minds + Machines]], a domain name consulting company.
