ICANN has published an updated schedule of the ICANN Last Resort Auction for those new gTLD in Collision.
ICANN will hold a Last Resort Auction for new gTLD strings that had more than one application and which have not settled the contention through private auctions or otherwise.
You might remember that ICANN proposed most recently to hold 20 Last resort auctions per month starting with June 2014.
However June only saw one new gTLD Last Resort auction, none are scheduled for July and August only has 2 auctions scheduled:
Here is the schedule for the rest of 2014 of course subject to change:

Collision -> Contention
(although the udpate was triggered by the delay of the name collision framework, it’s the last resort contention set auction…)
Does anyone know any information about when .web is coming out or at least which applicant was awarded the gTLD?
