[Gnso-newgtld-dg] FW: Latest report on gTLDs from ICANN staff

[Ron Andruff]

Dear all, 

 

This report (attached) from staff will hopefully add some value to the
reality of this DG's timeline considerations.

 

In short: "As of this writing, 404 new gTLDs have been delegated.  A total
of 1,168 applicants have been invited to contracting.  Of those applications
in string contention sets, 49% remain subject to contention resolution
procedures, which are forecast to be completed by the third quarter of 2016.
ICANN anticipates contracting to be completed by the end of 2016, and
pre-delegation testing by early 2017, before completing all the new
delegations by mid-2017."

 

Kind regards,

 

RA
