http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-27apr12-en.htm TAS Interruption - Update (27 April 2012) Statement by Akram Atallah, COO 27 April 2012 ICANN will notify all applicants within the next seven business days whether our analysis shows they were affected by the technical glitch in the TLD application system. In order to make these notifications, we are identifying each applicant file name and user name that might have been viewed, and who might have viewed them. To do that, we are reviewing internal system logs and full packet-level capture of all traffic to and from the application system from 12 January through 12 April. Our analysis continues to show that a limited number of applicants were affected. Shortly after the notification process has been completed, we will announce the schedule for reopening the application system and completing the application period. We are mindful of the need to allow sufficient time during the reopening period for applicants to confirm the completeness of their submissions. We are also continuing to test the fix and enhance system performance in preparation for reopening. We fully understand the frustration and inconvenience caused by the continuing suspension of the application system and will provide further updates as new information becomes available.
