http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-22apr12-en.htm Statement by Akram Atallah, COO 22 April 2012 ICANN continues to work diligently to test the fix for the technical glitch that required the temporary suspension of the TLD application system, or TAS, and to identify affected applicants so that we can reopen the system as soon as possible. Yesterday we posted a series of FAQs to respond to questions we have received about the glitch that caused the system to be taken offline. Thank you for your patience as we work to reopen the application system. --------- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff@atlarge.icann.org
