According to the ICANN Board resolution that created the IRT:
http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-06mar09.htm#07
it was tasked to:
"produce a final report to be published no later than 24 May 2009"
It is now May 25, 2009, and no final report has been made public either on
ICANN's website, the comment forum,
http://forum.icann.org/lists/irt-draft-report/
or on the IRT wiki:
https://st.icann.org/new-gtld-overarching-issues/index.cgi?trademark_protection
Assuming they have missed their deadline, while at the same time they imposed
unrealistic deadlines upon companies and individuals not in the IRT to submit
comments, I think it's safe to declare the entire process a complete and utter
failure.
As a consensus does not exist on how to solve these and other overarching
issues related to new gTLDs, the entire new gTLD program should be shelved so
that the community no longer wastes valuable time and resources on doomed
projects. ICANN needs to admit failure and move on, in order to preserve any
last scintilla of legitimacy it imagines itself to possess. The community focus
should instead be placed upon important matters like DNSSEC and IPv6. The
NTIA/DOC/DOJ should give more direct instructions to ICANN in this regard to
reiterate its past letters on new gTLDs:
