==About ICANN==

Ron opposes [[ICANN]]'s decision to start registering new [[TLD]]s. He is of the view that there is no need for new [[TLD]]s at this point when people son't even recognize already present [[TLD]]s. He says it will pressurize businessmen to buy unwanted [[TLD]]s just to protect their name.<ref>[http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2011/dailyposts/20110620.htm dnjournal]</ref>
