According to a statement issued overnight, ICANN is “targeting 22 May 2012 as the intended reopening date for the TLD Application System.”

“It is anticipated that the system would remain open for five business days and close on 30 May. This takes account of the 28 May Memorial Day holiday in the United States.”

“We have met our commitment to provide notice to all users on or before 8 May 2012 by sending out notifications today.”"The large majority of users are unaffected by the glitch.”

“”Even as late as yesterday, 7 May 2012, our packet-level research uncovered a new set of instances (in addition to those previously announced) where another applicant might have viewed a set of system-generated file names. It is possible that further analysis will also show that some of the parties that we have notified were not affected, but notice was provided out of an abundance of caution.

“”It would look like there is a good chance the Big Reveal might take place in Prague during the ICANN conference set for late June.

Also this announcement gives applicants until at least May 30th to request a refund of their application fees is they want to withdraw their applications
