ICANN suspends gTLD "digital archery lottery" due to ... you guessed
it ... more technical problems
http://j.mp/MLwWSp (ICANN)
"Operation of the digital archery portion of the New Generic Top-level
Domain Program has been suspended. The primary reason is that
applicants have reported that the timestamp system returns unexpected
results depending on circumstances. Independent analysis also
confirmed the variances, some as a result of network latency, others
as a result of how the timestamp system responds under differing
circumstances."

I have no official comment, since I've run out of suitable synonyms
for "embarrassing."
