[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]As I explained after last week's GNSO Council meeting, ICANN is planning to publish a 3rd version of its Draft Applicant Guidebook (DAG) and then the final version before the year is out.
The timing is as I outlined: 3rd DAG in September, final version before the end of the year. ICANN has just confirmed this in an announcement in which it also gives a planned date for the start of the first round of applications for new gTLDs.
This is the date everyone has been waiting for. Unfortunately, no precise date has been given yet, but ICANN says it expects to be able to open the first round in the first quarter of 2010.
This timetable has been hinted at several times in the past few weeks but it is the first time ICANN has officially confirmed it.[/FONT]
