===Complaints Regarding ICANN's Digital Archery===
===Complaints Regarding ICANN's Digital Archery===
In a letter addressed to ICANN Chairman [[Steve Crocker|Steven Crocker]] and [[Cherine Chalaby]], Chair of the ICANN [[New gTLD Program Committee]], NetNames General Manager and [[GNSO]] Chairman [[Stephane Van Gelder]] complained about the [[Digital Archery|digital archery]] [[Batching|batching]] system, describing it as a "contentious system", and that it generates applicant confusion. He also said that the system was "created without formal community input and it was "hastily put together" by the internet governing body. He encouraged ICANN to delay the implementation of the digital batching until the ICANN meeting in Prague from June 24-29, 2012, in order to develop a better solution and allow community-wide consultation to develop a fair and equal opportunity for all gTLD applicants in the initial evaluation process.<ref>
