At [[ICANN 42]] in Dakar, Salinas Porto addressed ICANN via an open mic session about the issue of The Falkland Islands and South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands being given their own [[ccTLD]], despite the dispute of their nationality and Argentina's sovereign claim over the territories. He noted that while ICANN does not generally involve itself in territory disputes, it had effectively recognized these islands as separate sovereign entities through the delegation of [[ccTLD]]s; Porto, on behalf of Internauta, described them as an integral part of Argentine territory, which is being misrepresented by ICANN.<ref>[http://en.mercopress.com/2011/10/28/argentine-groups-take-falklands-malvinas-dispute-to-internet-domains Falklands Malvinas dispute, En.MercoPress.com]</ref> ICANN CEO [[Rod Beckstrom]] replied that the organization uses the [[ISO 3160]]. Mr. Salinas Porto countered that he believed ICANN was mature enough to make its own country lists.<ref>[http://nigel.je/2011/10/ Notes from a Small Island, Nigel.je]</ref> The Argentine foreign ministry also sent a letter to ICANN over the same issue.<ref>[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/31/argentina_stakes_online_claim_on_falklands/ Argentina Stakes Online claim on Falklands, TheRegister.co.uk]</ref>
