Invitation to organize UA Day 2025 events
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 10, 2024

Sept. 10, 2024

Dear All, Please see below a note announcing the call for proposals for Universal Acceptance (UA) Day 2025 from Sarmad Hussain, Senior Director IDN and UA Programs. Also, the At-Large Activities at the 2025 UA Day workspace is available here<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Activities+at+the+2025…>. ** Dear ALAC members, To promote the awareness and adoption of Universal Acceptance (UA) of all domain names and email addresses, ICANN and the community are organizing the third global Universal Acceptance (UA) Day on or around 28 March 2025, between 1 March till 31 May 2025. We invite ALAC to help reach out to the RALOs and ALSes to organize regional and national UA Day events. Proposals should be submitted via the UA Day Event Proposal Form<https://forms.gle/xstRr4dWm9L1se5G6> available at https://universalacceptance.day<https://universalacceptance.day/> no later than 11 October 2024. In addition, we would also request the ALAC members to encourage the RALOs and ALSes, who are unable to host their own event, to participate in events that will be held in their region to create UA awareness and promote UA adoption. The event details will be published at <https://universalacceptance.day/> https://universalacceptance.day/ in January 2025. UA is a technical necessity to ensure that all valid domain names (such as どこでもつかえる.みんな and universal-acceptance-test.international) and email addresses (ਈਮੇਲ-ਪਰਖ(a)xn-----87f4dhe2jncd1dfe3dag5b8hl4a1y.xn--s9brj9c) regardless of script, language, or character length, can be equally used by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. It is considered a foundational requirement for the continued expansion of the Internet and a digitally inclusive Internet. UA Day events will consist of awareness-building, technical capacity building and strategy formulation sessions. UA Day was established in 2023 as an opportunity to engage and rally technical and language communities, businesses, governments, and Domain Name System (DNS) industry stakeholders to better understand the benefits of UA<https://uasg.tech/2022/04/why-ua-understanding-the-social-and-economic-bene…> and how to make their own systems UA-ready, and it attracted more than 15,000 participants worldwide across dozens of countries on six continents since then. UA can only be achieved by working together with various stakeholders. We value your contribution to UA Day events and hope you'll join us in building an #Internet4All at UA Day 2025! If you have any questions, please contact us at uaprogram(a)icann.org<mailto:uaprogram@icann.org>. For more information about UA Day 2023 and UA Day 2024, read the full recap report<https://www.icann.org/ua-day-en>. To find out more about UA Day 2025, please visit https://universalacceptance.day/.
