  • Application dates being pushed out to late 2009
    • ICANN will publish all applications after their initial review
  • There will be both an objection and public comment period regarding the applications
  • A refund schedule for withdrawal of applications at various stages
  • Reduction in ongoing annual registration fees from $75,000 US to $25,000 US
