Hello Esther, Mike, et al. Could someone please explain the following lapse in your TLD application process? On October 2nd, ICANN posted the following: >http://www.icann.org/tlds/tld-applications-lodged-02oct00.htm > >As of 5:00 pm California time on Monday, 2 October 2000, application materials >seeking to operate or sponsor the new TLDs listed below were submitted to ICANN. >These applications have not yet been verified to be complete or to be in proper form. >(There may be missing parts of the application, omitted attachments, no or an >inadequate application fee, a transmittal not in the specified form, a lack of >required signatures, etc.) Requests for confidential treatment of material submitted >have not yet been evaluated according to the procedure outlined in Section I of the >Statement of Requested Confidential Treatment of Materials Submitted. Nor has ICANN >yet made any determinations, where multiple TLD strings are included in a single >application, whether to require the applicant to elect which of the strings to pursue >in the application. [Note: While ICANN admitted that the applications had not been reviewed, and they might not be complete, it did *not* indicate that there might be some other applications hidden in its system!!!] Then, on October 3rd, ICANN posted: >http://www.icann.org/tlds/tld-applications-lodged-02oct00.htm > >Note: On 3 October 2000, we revised this list to add two mistakenly omitted >applications and to make minor corrections to some TLD and applicant data. Could someone please document why: JVTeam, LLC 1120 Vermont Avenue., NW Washington, DC 20005 USA Ken Hansen +1 202 533-2600 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and NeuStar, Inc. 1120 Vermont Avenue., NW Washington, DC 20005 USA Ken Hansen +1 202 533-2600 [EMAIL PROTECTED] had applications recognized the day *after* the application deadline?
