Timing of IRT Report

The final Implementation Recommendation Team (IRT) report, originally called for by 24 May 2009 will be published on 29 May, 2009. The IRT has rapidly performed their work, called for by the ICANN Board in a resolution on 6 March, 2009. In consultation with ICANN staff during the week of 17 May, all agreed that extending the publication date a few days would provide an opportunity to complete key work, and still make all community-agreed timeframes for posting in time for consideration at ICANN's Sydney meeting.
