Dear All, Please see below a note from Akram Atallah, ICANN Chief Operating Officer, on the TLD Application System. ** http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-12apr12-en.htm Statement on TLD Application System 12 April 2012 We have learned of a possible glitch in the TLD application system software that has allowed a limited number of users to view some other users' file names and user names in certain scenarios. Out of an abundance of caution, we took the system offline to protect applicant data. We are examining how this issue occurred and considering appropriate steps forward. We apologize for any concern this may have caused and will communicate on a regular basis on our website, which can be found at <http://newgtlds.icann.org> http://newgtlds.icann.org Akram Atallah Chief Operating Officer ICANN ** 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
