The TLD Application System (TAS) is the official online application system implemented by the 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.[1]
Reports on Technical Failures
FairWinds Partners reported that some applicants encountered technical failures using the TLD Application System and were not able to complete the profile registration. TAS was un-functional for two days. To resolve the issue, ICANN announced that there will be a schedule TAS systems maintenance during Sunday mornings from 12:00 midnight to 2:00 in the morning UTC.

On February 2, Jeff Neuman and Ken Hanson executives from Neustar tweeted that their applications were mission on TAS. Neumann's Tweet says, “Check your applications in TAS. Reports of missing applications- Our application 4 .Neustar is 1 of them. TAS also lost our “unique” ID which we got upon paying initial 5k. We need ID to pay remainder, fill out app & see all apps.”[3] ICANN explained that the system encountered a display issue, which was resolved after two hours.
