New gTLD Update for Applicants (27 August 2012)

We have additional updates for applicants this week:

Applicant Update Webinar

The next Applicant Update Webinar is scheduled for Thursday, 6 
September at 12:00 UTC.  Topics will include status on Initial 
Evaluation, an update on batching/metering options, information on 
application comments, and new gTLD sessions we are planning for 
Toronto among other things.  If you are unable to join us for the 
live webinar, it will be recorded and posted to the webinar page 
(http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/webinars) on 
the new gTLD microsite.  The webinar is open to everyone but directed 
toward applicants in particular.


Clarification Questions Pilot

The Clarification Questions Pilot is scheduled to kick off this 
week.  Notices have gone out to the 50 applications selected and 
participation is optional. Preliminary evaluation results show that a 
large number of applications require clarification.  The purpose of 
the pilot is to ensure that the questions evaluators ask are clear 
and applicants understand what information they are being asked to 
provide.  See attached [PDF, 80 KB].

Change Requests

We are finalizing the process to post application change requests.  A 
set of seven criteria have been created to evaluate each request and, 
if approved, the change will be reflected on the posting page of the 
microsite http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus ).

New gTLD Microsite

The new gTLD microsite is getting a facelift.  We are working to 
refresh the microsite, making it a bit easier for you to find what 
you need.  A new feature we will add is an Applicants Corner.  This 
is a place where applicants can go to get important advisories as 
well as to check the status of various parts of the program still 
under development.  Keep an eye out for the microsite's new look!
