Statement by Akram Atallah, COO
23 April 2012
ICANN made progress over the weekend in
identifying all applicants who may have been affected by the
technical issue that caused the TLD application system, or
TAS, to be taken offline. We also want to inform all
applicants, prior to reopening, whether they have been
affected by the glitch, and are still gathering the
information we need to do that.
Testing the fix is also proceeding well.
As noted in the FAQs posted on Saturday, we have
postponed publication of the list of applied-for new domain
names, which was previously planned for 30 April.
Everyone involved in the new gTLD program is
committed to bringing TAS back online as soon as possible. Thank
you again for your patience.
Kind Regards, Benedetta Rossi BC Secretariat https://community.icann.org/display/gnsobc/Home www.bizconst.org bc-secretariat@icann.org
