Dear Adrian and all: We are working on final details of
the Applicant Guidebook version 3, explanatory memoranda and other additional
documents. We are planning on posting over 30 documents that are being reviewed
and formatted. Unfortunately this process is taking longer than initially
expected, even with long working evenings and weekends. Apologies for missing
the date previously communicated by Peter. We are, however, still within the
deadline we need to follow according to the Board. We are also working and intend to
launch a redesigned new gTLD webpage to house all new gTLD information. It is
not a stunning design, but hopefully will help people to find information faster. We expect to post either tonight
or Monday. Stay tuned and thank you for your patience. See you all in Seoul. Kind
regards, Karla

Of Adrian Kinderis Is it just me or were we expecting the DAV
v3 by September 30? In recent communications (Peter’s letter to
the GAC for example) this was the date quoted. Whilst I am not too bothered by the delay
what does concern me is that ICANN staff have simply left us in the dark as to
the progress. If ICANN knew it was going to be late why
not make an announcement to clarify? Why keep us guessing? Very frustrating for the Community for
which they serve. Perhaps they were too busy celebrating with
the US Government to care? Is it [possible to request a response from
staff? Adrian
