So this Question may be dumb, but are these Domains _approved_ now or are they still in Negotiations if they should be approved? (From my POV the latter is true, other people say they are already approved, so... hm?) -- Rico Gloeckner

Not really a dumb question as no one seems to know the answer :-) Anyone know what happens when they are finally available (June 2001 eh?)? do we all get our templates at the ready with our fingers on the send button!?

This is my personal recollection of the legaleese in the actual resolution.

My personal interpretation of this is that the tlds are ideed approved, but contracts with ICANN still have to be negotiated and again approved by the board. My understanding of this is that unless somebody realy screws up the negotiations theese will happen.
