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.
