Hi Adam,<br>

is the latest news I have seen. That story interprets the document at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/new-gtld-resolution-annex-1-04jun13-en.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/new-gtld-resolution-annex-1-04jun13-en.pdf</a><br>
<br>
which says:<br>
<br>
The NGPC accepts this advice. The AGB provides that<br>
if "GAC advises ICANN that it is the consensus of the<br>
GAC that a particular application should not proceed.<br>
This will create a strong presumption for the ICANN<br>
Board that the application should not be approved."<br>
(AGB § 3.1) The NGPC directs staff that pursuant to<br>
the GAC advice and Section 3.1 of the Applicant<br>
Guidebook, Application number 1-1165-42560 for<br>
.africa will not be approved. In accordance with the<br>
AGB the applicant may withdraw (pursuant to AGB §<br>
1.5.1) or seek relief according to ICANN's<br>
accountability mechanisms (see ICANN Bylaws,<br>
Articles IV and V) subject to the appropriate<br>
standing and procedural requirements.<br>
