Fattal is does not support [[ICANN]]'s policy of checking every [[gTLD]] application according to the laws of U.S Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This policy is published in 7th the final gTLD Applicant Guidebook discussed in [[ICANN41]] meeting held in Singapore in June 2011. Fattal is of the view that [[ICANN]] has took a serious risk in publishing this rule. Other countries may object [[ICANN]]'s partial behavior and may start thinking to create their own internet root which will be the end of a single globalized internet.<ref>[http://www.pressking.com/press-releases/US-Laws-Remain-Set-To-Govern-The-Coming-Multilingual-Internet-thru-ICANN-s-New-gTLDs--003708 pressking]</ref>
