ICANN’s New TLD Big Reveal On Delay – The date of April 30th has come and gone and there is still no date confirmed for the TAS system reopening.  ICANN’s CEO, Rod Beckstrom,  said he plans to have all of the technical issues resolved and the programme back on track by the time he hands over to his successor at the end of June.

Can You Imagine More Than 1,200 New Top-Level Domains? According to Rod Beckstrom, 1,268 TLD applications is a pretty safe bet and not expected to be lower than that.
