Throughout the evaluation process, ICANN will provide regular updates to applicants. One method we plan to use is monthly webinar sessions.

The sessions will be open but opportunity for questions will be reserved for applicants. The first webinar will provide: * Information and updates on the various elements of the evaluation process * Early evaluation indications and implications for applicants * Discussion of the "batching" issue and its impact on the timing of delegations. We hope you can join us for this session but if you can't, you'll find a recording of the webinar in the Announcements & Media section of the new gTLD microsite.
