<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>We are working on final details of
the Applicant Guidebook version 3, explanatory memoranda and other additional
documents. We are planning on posting over 30 documents that are being reviewed
and formatted. Unfortunately this process is taking longer than initially
expected, even with long working evenings and weekends. Apologies for missing
the date previously communicated by Peter. We are, however, still within the
deadline we need to follow according to the Board. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>We are also working and intend to
launch a redesigned new gTLD webpage to house all new gTLD information. It is
not a stunning design, but hopefully will help people to find information faster.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>We expect to post either tonight
or Monday. Stay tuned and thank you for your patience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Is it just me or were we expecting the DAV
v3 by September 30?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>In recent communications (Peter’s letter to
the GAC for example) this was the date quoted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Whilst I am not too bothered by the delay
what does concern me is that ICANN staff have simply left us in the dark as to
the progress.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>If ICANN knew it was going to be late why
not make an announcement to clarify? Why keep us guessing?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Very frustrating for the Community for
which they serve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Perhaps they were too busy celebrating with
the US Government to care? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Is it [possible to request a response from
