[AfrICANN-discuss] Help with .africa history

[Lerato Mamboleo]

I think DCA has already given their clarification in response to UNIFORUM's  push for media manipulation to its favor, which seem to continue http://www.prlog.org/11899992-dca-trust-and-uniforum-sa-have-both-applied-for-the-same-africa-geographic-name.html 

It is my understanding that many of the IDN TLDS were corrected by ICANN before publishing for similar errors as some registries have reported, why  DCA's application did not get similar treatment leaves it to certain imagination.  Despite, ICANN has made a statement to fix such errors, who caused what error is not determined I suppose. Here is a link that states the case:  http://domainnamewire.com/2012/06/19/icann-may-let-new-tld-applicants-modify-their-applications/

The group is working on a process that could allow applicants to fix errors in their final applications. Officially:

ICANN has received requests for changes to submitted applications. We take these requests very seriously and are working on developing guidelines for these changes.
The ICANN community spent a lot of time coming up with applicant guidelines, but one it didn’t think to include was a mechanism for fixing errors in applications.
 
Hope this helps.

Hi all,

The bottom line is that there has only been one Applicant for .africa
according to:

http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results/strings-1200utc-13jun12-en

or is ICANN information incorrect?

Regards,

McTim
