<p style="margin: 15px 0px 0px 0px;">2 October 2015</p>
<p>The public comment period for the <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-subsequent-prelim-2015-08-31-en">
Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures</a> has been extended to
<strong>30 October 2015 23:59 UTC</strong>.</p>
<p>At the request of the GNSO Council via a resolution passed during its meeting on 24 September 2015, ICANN staff has determined to extend the public comment period from 40 days to 60 days. Beyond providing additional time for the community to consider the
report, the anticipated benefits are that the close date will no longer fall just prior to ICANN54 and discussions about the report can occur during the meeting while the public comment period remains open.</p>
