I agree with Avri - let's reserve judgment until all the facts are known. <div><br></div><div>In relation to Carlos' very relevant remark, I would say give ICANN's management a chance to verify where the problem lies and report back to stakeholders. If the problem is strictly internal and not fixed relatively quickly, it will indicate the need for a third party investigation. If the problem lies with outside suppliers/consultants that should be established beyond reasonable doubt and also subject to investigation. The world is doing fine up to now without new gTLDs and we need to take the time to understand what has happened and the consequences...meanwhile as long as all applicants are treated equally in the process, however delayed, due diligence should continue and be completed...</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
And some of us have reflexive protective instinct that seems to indicate no cIr manager can do wrong.<br>
<br>
At this point there most certainly is something to be seen here. This was not a simple glitch that was fixed in a day. This is a major event that is still ongoing with no end in sight. I do not beleive in judging before the whole story is reveled, but do insist that the whole story be revealed.<br>
