ICANN New gTLD Auctions are generally scheduled on a rolling basis as contention sets become eligible for auction. The time required for a contention set to become eligible may vary depending on the duration of evaluations, objections, appeals, challenges, Community Priority Evaluation (CPE), and other relevant processes.
