Won't be long now...

“resolved, the board intends to complete the process set forth in the time line in time for final approval of the new gTLD implementation program at an extraordinary meeting of the ICANN board to be held on Monday, the 20th of June 2011, at the ICANN meeting in Singapore.”

This is the crucial point:

"Then we’ll open up for a comment period, and the intent of this comment period is not really a general try to open everything up again comment period. what we are intending there is to get very specific comments, preferably from the same constituencies and advisory committees that actually identify whether they believe that the text changes that we put in the Guidebook do correctly implement the intent that we have indicated in our scorecard. so we want quite focused comment. ”

Basically ICANN are going to respond to GAC consultation with fresh draft, accepting or ignoring points as discussed. After that there will be a public consultation but they are only really going be considering the correction of Typos. No new issues are going to be considered.

Anyway, this are moving on:

Yesterdays traffic saw Saudi getting more than Russia, which in turn got more than US, whilst Kuwait got more than Egypt which is turn got more than Japan.
