That's great news!
As for the Security, if it's blank then they either didn't start or didn't finish it yet. But these notes are considered old now because you've ordered them a month ago which means Security check might be over already.
I'm not really sure what Application assignment date is, but I've heard it's something between the officers, if they see you've passed everything by this date(or earlier) then it's their deadline to finish your case. I also heard that some people say don't believe in those dates lol

There is more information on how to read GCMS notes here:

Thank you for your support. I know it's not easy for you, but you are standing strong. I hope Ankara visa office will start moving faster this year. So all of us will get good news.

do you have "application assignment due date"? if so it means action will be taken by that date.

Yes! They have to start issuing visas ASAP!
Good luck to all of us! :)

I actually have that date in my notes too! My application assignment due date was 2016/12/12 which was right before my husband's interview.
Ufff why there's still no movement from Ankara!

This online service will be unavailable from 3:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Eastern time, on Tuesday, January 17, 2017, in order to perform system maintenance.

is it because of the application update?! Maybe their system had a problem and because of this it did not update from December till now!?
