[ga] Re: New TLD Evaluation Process : Specific Question to the Board

["vinton g. cerf" <vinton.g.cerf@wcom.com>]

richard, 

my understanding is that at least some, if not all, reports have been received but some contain proprietary information. Before these reports can be released in public form, they have to be redacted to preserve the confidentiality of proprietary data. Staff has simply been busy with other work so this is still on the task queue.
