CADNA Unhappy With ICANN Meeting Outcomes
Not everyone is happy with ICANN's decision last week that could lead to a lot more TLDs.

CADNA has called the decision drastic and that the decision was made despite opposition by many leading brand owners at the ICANN meeting . Well, as if CADNA is the only interested party in this decision.
