==Antony Van Couvering (TLDH)Criticism==

[[Antony ~~van~~ Couvering]], CEO of [[Top Level Domains Holding Ltd.|To Level Domains Holding]] strongly criticized ICANN's digital archery describing the system as "deeply flawed" and encouraged ICANN to scrap its implementation. Couvering said that the [Batching|batching]] system artificially creates losers and winners, it is a game of chance rather than skill, unfair to poorer applicants, certain regions and non-generic applicants.He also presented some interesting evidences of errors on the TLD Application System ([[TAS]]). After conducting tests on the TAS, Couvering theorize that the system's software is recording a "wrong seconds value, but with the right milliseconds value" when an applicant clicks the button prior to the target time. He encouraged ICANN to investigate the issue. <ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/0120610_biggest_glitch_of_all_icanns_batching_program_for_new_gtlds/ The Biggest Glitch of All - ICANN's Batching Program for New gTLDs]</ref>
