Icann may release an updated gTLD Applicant Guidebook but said it would not affect applicants’ positions.
Managing IP contacted Icann’s customer service department, asking whether it would produce a new document before the application period opens on January 12.
An Icann statement read: “Since its opening, our customer service center has received a number of questions requesting clarifications on some Guidebook points. These clarifications have been made through the responses by the customer service. We will summarize those clarifications in one document – that might be an Advisory or in the form of an updated Guidebook.”
Icann said the Guidebook would contain repeated information from the last one – the 8th draft – meaning applicants would not be affected.
