TAS Interruption - Update (17 April 2012)
Statement by Akram Atallah, COO
17 April 2012
ICANN's review of the technical glitch that resulted in the TLD application 
system being taken offline indicates that the issue stems from a problem in the 
way the system handled interrupted deletions of file attachments. This resulted 
in some applicants being able to see some other applicants' file names and user 
names.
As reported yesterday, we are seeking confirmation that the solution we have 
implemented for this issue is effective.
We are also conducting research to determine which applicants' file names and 
user names were potentially viewable, as well as which applicants had the 
ability to see them.
Many organizations are seeking information on whether we will proceed with the 
planned publication of applied-for domain names on 30 April. We will update the 
target date for publication as part of our update on the timing of the 
reopening, no later than Friday, 20 April at 23.59 UTC.
