this is quite troubling to me and we must make adjustments to solve this problem quickly.

if additional resources and bandwidth are needed the need must be identified and dealt with immediately

Andrew,

 

I must draw ICANNs attention to an unforeseen situation:

 

Many people in Latin America have contacted me to say they have been

unable to register as an ICANN at large member. When they click in to

the registration form, invariably they receive a message which reads -

"We are sorry. The database is currently overloaded, please try again when the

  system is less busy".

I just tried to sign up myself and received this same message.

 

Question: When will the system be less busy ? There is a deadline to sign

up by August 31, but people may become discouraged and potential members

be lost in the proceedings.

 

Regards
