Line 16: − + − − ===Senate Hearing on New gTLD=== − In December, 2011, it was announced that Kurt Pritz would be a witness in a U.S. Senate Hearing on ICANN's new gTLD Program. The appearance is a defensive one for Mr. Pritz, as the hearing was likely scheduled due to the intense lobbying of the [[Association of National Advertisers]], and its anti-TLD off-shoot, [[CRIDO]]. He is to be the most-senior ICANN staff member at the December 8th hearing.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/dyson-confirmed-for-new-gtlds-senate-hearing/ Dyson Confirmed for New gTLDs Senate Hearing]</ref> It was not the first time that he was called to such a hearing, he attended at least one similar House hearing earlier that year.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/the-10-dumbest-moments-from-that-new-tlds-congressional-hearing/ The 10 Dumbest Moments from That New TLDs Congressional Hearing, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
