[ga] ICANN shuts down gTLD applications after security glitch, extends deadline

[Jeffrey Williams <jwkckid2@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Very concerning!  See:

Seems that the DSSA has nothing in their archives mentioning this.  I
wonder why?  Could it perhaps be that
the stated or seeming direction of the introduction of new TLD's may have
some fraudulent players?  Or was
perhaps not enough care taken in the 'how to's' in the development process
of introducing new TLD's.  I realize
that a billion $ industry in TLD's tends to allow for some blind mice
activity from the policy developers of same.
But do users really benefit from such lack of responsible process?  I hope
that the SSAC within ICANN sill stay
on top of this sort of activity more closely in the future.

Inquiring regards,
Jeffrey A. Williams
