IRP Recommendation Leads to Auctions Being Delayed

The auctions due to be held by ICANN are about to be postponed, according to a press release. There are three strings waiting for approval, namely .LLC, LLP and .INC and it has been decided this way after the receipt of a recommendation from the Emergency Panelist.

A notification was sent to each of the applicants informing them about this decision and a result is expected from the IRP analysis. According to ICANN, they chose to apply the suggestion even if it was not mandatory, until a final decision is taken.

ICANN reaffirms their full implication into the accountability process and vows that all of their practices will remain transparent. According to them, they will stick to these important ideas because they consider them the only way to ensure the effectiveness of the stakeholder they promote.
