New gTLD Program Committee directs the President and CEO to terminate the Digital Archery process used for batching new gTLD applications.
- Terminate the Digital Archery process
- Responsible entity: President and CEO
- Due date: None provided
- Completion date: 23 June 2012
Resolved (2012.06.27.NG06), the New gTLD Program Committee directs the President and CEO to terminate the Digital Archery process as approved in Resolutions 2011.12.08.04 – 2011.12.08.07.
To remain accountable to the ICANN community, after careful consideration of the objections raised to the digital archery process, and following the suspension of the process after identification of a technical issue, the New gTLD Program Committee’s decision provides finality to the community on the status of the digital archery process. Though resources were expended in the development of the digital archery process, there is no expected impact on ICANN’s resources as a result of the termination of the system. This decision will not have any impact on the security, stability or resiliency of the DNS as a result of this decision.
