Dear SPIRT Members,

Following on the updates discussed in our last call and in support of the meeting tomorrow, the Change Log has been updated on the wiki with the changes we discussed.

You can access the Change Log here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPIRTS/pages/784171052/6.+Change+Log.

Please note there is one new Minor (Type 1) change (#5 in the Type 1 table). This is related to feedback and questions we’ve received from .Brand applicants regarding the application questions for Safeguards. We’ve made some changes to the respective application question instructions to help clarify. This topic was also discussed multiple times in the two webinars on TAMS held by ICANN yesterday.

Please see here for more information on the webinars: https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-to-host-question-and-answer-sessions-for-new-gtld-applicants-13-04-2026-en.
The recordings are available here: https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/resources/webinarspresentations/2026.

As a reminder regarding Type 1 changes, per the Charter, “the SPIRT shall review the decision through the Change Log and take no more than three (3) calendar days to provide guidance if it disagrees with the decision.”

Thank you and speak with you tomorrow,

Jared
