What is with all the "citation needed" signs? This article should be about one of the most (if not just the most) open organizations on the planet. Is there so little we officially know about it? I understand that there are a lot of unofficial rumors and pieces of information about it, but why is there so little of it that is backed up by official sources? -- T (unknown date)
This section just appeared in the ICANN entry, and while I've corrected several aspects of it, it probably needs more work to achieve neutral tone. Also, it may be a fairly transitory issue, hence wondering if it warrants inclusion in the main entry at all. fyi --TcomptonMA 10:39, 23 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TcomptonMA (talk • contribs)
Hi, there have been several edits to the article where the contributor attempts to note a "potential conflict-of-interest" in cases where multiple registrars are operated by the same corporation. The contributions were removed, and I ask that such notes be protected. CHeers126.209.0.225 (talk) 11:28, 18 October 2017 (UTC) Again, requesting abovementioned notes be protected. Operation of multiple Registries increases likelyhood of undetected cybercrime, i.e. Domain hijacking. Today, May 25th, is rollout of EU GDPR which likely results in concealing or limiting access to DNS Records, WHOIS. This amplifies the need for protection.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.161.163.165 (talk) 11:59, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
An experienced Wikipedia editor should probably add something about the $20M bribe ICANN is taking to let VeriSign hike dotcom TLD prices even though as a registry it does very little actual work that provides the value of domains.--Xaekai (talk) 20:55, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[1] [2]

This suggests that ICANN no longer manages IANA. Is that right? Should this page get updated? Liberty5651 (talk) 19:00, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
