"ICANN continues to move forward in the implementation of the new gTLD 
Program while balancing and addressing community concerns on specific 
aspects of the program. The public comment period on the second version 
of the applicant guidebook recently closed and work continues to proceed 
regarding the discussion of overarching issues.

In order to continue progress and the community discussion, ICANN will:

* Publish an analysis of comments similar to that published after the 
fist version of the Guidebook,

* Conduct consultations and fora at the Sydney meeting and afterward to 
develop solutions to the overarching issues,

* Publish the third version of the Guidebook after the Sydney meeting 
when solutions to the overarching issues can be included.

With that in mind, it is anticipated that applications for new top-level 
domains will be accepted starting in the first quarter of 2010."
