, 12 years ago→RFP for New IANA Functions Contract
Some members of the internet community believe that ICANN is expected to win the IANA contract and view NTIA's decision to remove the "consensus report" as a "softening language" and the inclusion of conflict of interest policy is one of the most significant issue facing ICANN.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/us-puts-icann-contract-up-for-rebid/ US puts ICANN contract up for rebid]</ref> The issue of conflict of interest was raised by the global internet community after the departure [[Peter Dengate Thrush]] from his position as ICANN Chairman and a strong proponent of the new [[gTLD]] expansion program immediately joined [[Minds + Machines]], a domain name consulting company. Sen. [[Ron Wyden]] called the attention of the DOC on this issue and recommended the inclusion of "strict ethics guidelines" to prevent the revolving door in the next IANA contract.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/senator-calls-for-icann-ethics-controls/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DomainIncite+%28DomainIncite.com%29 Senator calls for ICANN ethics controls]</ref> <ref>

One week after the publication of the RFP, revised the IANA contract and included the ''"ban on dealing with groups classified as supporting terrorism. The DOC created a new section on data rights stating that the US governments has unlimited rights in all data delivered by the contractor under the contract and all data first produced in the performance of the contract."'' A minor revision was made on the wordings of the new gTLDs section. The old version was written IANA must show that ICANN “followed its policy framework” to approve a gTLD. The new version reads; it must have “followed its own policy framework.”<ref>[http://domainincite.com/us-quietly-revises-iana-contract/ US quietly revises IANA contract]</ref>
