Chariklo,
there are several threads discussing the "new light" on the statue's feet. The invitation for this year's DC shows statue in Daniel with the various world powers it represents (according to WTS) labelled. When it gets to the toes of the feet there is a question mark instead of a named kingdom or power.
Leading the dubs to "know" that a special new announcement is due at the DC. However, once at the DC the speaker confirms that there is no new light and the dubs go off into the sunset without any new special information.
I feel as others do that the invitation with question marked toes and the publication that wasn't released are part of a bigger idea that was scrapped at the last minute. Perhaps it will be something that comes out next year.
