[] TAS Interruption - Update (17 April 2012)

[Alain Berranger]

I agree with Avri - let's reserve judgment until all the facts are known.

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...
