<div class=yiv1099182149MsoPlainText><SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 12pt" lang=EN-ZA>On 22 May 2012, ICANN will reopened the new generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) application process following the earlier technical glitch that you will no doubt be aware of. This was a welcome development as there was substantial debate around whether applications were materially affected.</SPAN></SPAN></div>
