<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear Adrian and all:<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 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 style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">See you all in Seoul.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Whilst I am not too bothered by the delay

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">If ICANN knew it was going to be late why
