Hi Karen, Thank you for the question and sorry again for the delay in responding. I’m adding the full IRT for transparency since we discussed it on the call yesterday. I spoke with the team, and the exact dates of Reveal and String Confirmation Days will be determined once the application submission period closes (12 August 2026), as the number of applications received will have an impact on processing times and the exact timing of those Days. We are aware of the ICANN86 dates (and the timing of subsequent milestones) and will do our best to take those into account as we plan those Days. Thank you again. Best, Jared From: Karen Day <karen@elstermcgrady.com> Date: Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 11:46 To: Lars Hoffmann <lars.hoffmann@icann.org>, Jared Erwin <jared.erwin@icann.org> Subject: [Ext] pedantic question re next round dates Hi guys! I was just calendaring out the next year now that we have our application window, and it looks like String Confirmation Day (if all goes to plan and there's no extension of the admin check period) would likely fall during the Oman AGM next October. Would that be something that could happen or would ICANN push it so that the clock on all the objection periods wouldn't start right in the middle of a meeting? Just curios and I definitely know enough to put everything down in erasable ink ;-) Cheers! Karen [cid:image001.png@01DC6F38.334369E0] Karen L.
