NEW: Many of today’s multilingual #Internet users are currently unable to access the web in a meaningful way due to outdated standards based on the Latin script. In a new op-ed for ETGovernment, ICANN’s Samiran Gupta makes the case for Universal Acceptance (UA) as key to unlocking the Internet’s true multilingual and inclusive potential. #Internet4All #ICANN https://lnkd.in/e69SP7Nw

The concept that all domain names should be treated equally
About us
Universal Acceptance is a foundational requirement for a truly multilingual Internet, one in which users around the world can navigate entirely in local languages. It is also the key to unlocking the potential of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to foster competition, consumer choice and innovation in the domain name industry. To achieve Universal Acceptance, Internet applications and systems must treat all TLDs in a consistent manner, including new gTLDs and internationalized TLDs. Specifically, they must accept, validate, store, process and display all domain names.

DID YOU KNOW? 14 years ago yesterday, the first Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) were installed in the Domain Name System (DNS) root zone - Egypt: مصر (Egypt); Saudi Arabia: السعودية (AlSaudiah); and United Arab Emirates: امارات (Emarat). Today, thanks to the continued expansion of the DNS, there are hundreds! #ICANN https://lnkd.in/eT4Z7Cfm
