→MINC and ICANN
Prior to publishing the new [[gTLD]] application guide book, ICANN formulated a Draft DAG4 in 2010. Commenting on the draft, Mr. Fattal said that he did not support the rule in which ICANN stated that every applicant would be screened for his involvement in terrorism. He requested that ICANN either clarifies the domain of this word of 'terrorism' or omits it from the guide book because there is a serious risk in publishing this rule. Arabs and Muslims will get a view that this is a racist act by ICANN and it will be a violation of ICANN's mandate of being an international organization.<ref>[http://www.minc.org/news.aspx?id=425&lang=en MINC]</ref> ICANN seriously noted this point and changed the policy rule which now states that every [[gTLD]] application will be screened according to the laws of U.S Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and SDN list. This policy is published in 7th and final [[gTLD Applicant Guidebook]] discussed at the [[ICANN 41]] meeting held in Singapore in June, 2011.<ref>[http://www.minc.org/news.aspx?id=430&lang=en MINC]</ref>

Even now Mr. Fattal is of the view that this will give an indication of US control over ICANN. Other countries might as well start thinking about creating their own [[Root Zone|internet root]], which would be the end of a single, global 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>

===IDNO===
In October 2009, Mr. Khaled Fattal wrote a letter to chairman of ICANN and GAC and ICANN board of directors proposing a new ICANN names supporting organization for the management of [[IDN]]'s. This body was supposed to be named as The Internationalized Domain Names Supporting Organization. Fattal said that ICANN was not able to fully understand and implement the concept of IDN and hence there is need to make a new organization that will handle the issues and risks regarding them.<ref>[http://www.minc.org/news.aspx?id=418&lang=en MINC]</ref> The full text of Mr. Fattal's letter can be viewed [http://minc.org/news.aspx?id=417&lang=en here].
