[ALAC-Announce] TAS Interruption - Update (16 April 2012) | ICANN

[At-Large Staff]

Statement by Akram Atallah, COO
16 April 2012
The TLD application system, or TAS, was taken offline on Thursday, 12 April
due to a technical issue.

We believe that we have fixed the glitch, and we are testing it to make
sure.

ICANN is committed to reopening the application system as soon as we can
confirm that the problem has been resolved and we have had proper time for
testing.

We also want to inform all applicants, before we reopen, whether they have
been affected by the glitch. We are still gathering information so we can do
that.

Accordingly, the application system will not reopen tomorrow.

We will provide an update on the timing of the reopening no later than
Friday, 20 April at 23.59 UTC.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
