 Statement by Akram Atallah, COO
9 May 2012

As we announced yesterday, ICANN has provided notice to all users to let them 
know whether they may have been affected by the technical glitch in the 
TLDapplication system, or TAS.

We sent an 
email<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/notification-template-1-08may12-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 41 KB] to each TAS user asking them to log in to the notification system 
and view whether they may have been affected. Notifications were delivered to 
the 1,275 registered TAS users in four categories.

The categories, along with links to the corresponding notification template, 
break down as follows:
1.     Users who did not have file names or usernames 
viewed<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/notification-template-2-08may12-en.pdf>[PDF,
 72 KB]: 1,163
2.     Users who had one or more file names and/or user names that may have 
been viewed by another 
user<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/notification-template-3-08may12-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 73 KB]: 72.
3.     Users who may have seen the file names and/or usernames of one or more 
other 
users<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/notification-template-4-08may12-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 73 KB]: 30.
4.     Users who had one or more file names and/or user names that may have 
been viewed, and who also may have been able to see file name and/or username 
information of other 
users<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/notification-template-5-08may12-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 75 KB]: 10.

Users whose file names and/or user names may have been viewed were provided 
with the details of the relevant information.

As we announced yesterday, we are targeting 22 May 2012 as the intended 
reopening date for TAS, and anticipate a 30 May closing.

We understand and regret the inconvenience that the glitch has caused.
