===TAS Delays and Closing of the Application Window===
===Reveal Day and Aftermath===
It was discovered post-Reveal Day that several applicants had made mistakes in their applications. As a response to requests for a way to make changes to submitted applications, ICANN developed New gTLD Application Change Request Process and Criteria. Requests were submitted through the New gTLD Customer Service Center (CSC), and ICANN will compare the request against the following 7 criteria:
# Explanation – Is a reasonable explanation provided?
# Evidence that original submission was in error – Is there anything to indicate that the change merely corrects an error, as claimed?
# Other third parties affected – Does the change affect other third parties materially?
# Precedents – Is the change similar to others that have already been approved? Could the change lead others to request similar changes that could affect third parties or result in undesirable effects on the program?
# Fairness to applicants – Would allowing the change be construed as fair to the general community? Would disallowing the change be construed as unfair?
# Materiality – Would the change affect the evaluation score or require re-evaluation of some or all of the application? Would the change affect string contention or community priority consideration?
# Timing – Does the timing interfere with the evaluation process in some way?
Depending on the results of this comparison, the request will either be approved or denied, and the applicant will be notified. All applications that have been approved for change will have their changes listed on the new gTLD microsite and the application will be held for at least 30 days before passing on to the next stage of the application process, so that the public may comment on whether a re-evaluation of the approval of the changes should be made. Any changes made to confidential portions of the application will be summarized and not posted, in order to protect the confidentiality of the applicant.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/customer-service/change-requests New gTLD Application Change Request Process and Criteria, icann.org]</ref>
