The '''TLD Application System (TAS)''' is the official online application system implemented by the [[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] for the new [[gTLD]] program. Applicants are required to complete the registration on the system to be able to submit and manage their applications. The TAS registration is the first step in the application process and it is open from January 12 to March 29, 2012. Applicants need to follow three steps which include: filling out an applicant profile, legal review and payment of a non-refundable deposit of $US 5000. Access to TAS will not be granted until the deposit is confirmed by ICANN. The TAS will send e-mail updates and notifications to the applicants and they can also track the progress of every application they submitted.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/tas The TLD Application System Overview]</ref>
