Introduction
by Chaitanya Dhareshwar July 8, 2013

July 8, 2013

Hi everyone, I'm Chaitanya Dhareshwar from Mumbai, India. I've just joined the list and wanted to introduce myself briefly. I am a technologist and entrepreneur, currently working with a non-profit donation aggregator Give India (www.giveindia.org) as the IT Product Manager. I've long marveled the splendor of the Pacific islands region - which is how I ended up joining PICISOC - and via PICISOC (special thanks to Maureen and Salanieta) have been able to involve myself globally in IG and internet related discussions/learning. If you've been on PICISOC or IGC you may know me, in which case I apologise for boring you :) Best regards, Chaitanya

IDN TLD operators (including IDN ccTLD, IDN gTLD and IDN gTLDAccredited Registrars) are recommended to support Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs in their own systems. Part of this recommendation is that ICANN's IDN Guidelines be updated to include provisions for IDN TLD registries and registrars to support the Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs within their own systems (i.e. for registration systems and services to accept name server records, child hosts, contact information with IDN TLDs) 2. ICANN should allocate specific resources for the advocacy of Universal Acceptance beyond the development of informational materials and toolkits. 3. ICANN should develop of informative reference materials for new IDN TLDs (including gTLD and ccTLD) to handle issues of Universal Acceptance 4. ICANN initiates efforts, lead by staff, with participation from the community, for further studies to investigate the scope of the issue and what other services or actions could be taken by ICANN to support the Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs beyond outreach and awareness campaigns Best regards, Rinalia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 6:32 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] FW: ICANN News Alert -- Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs To: "alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" < alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> [http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-25jun13-en.htm ________________________________ Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs 25 June 2013 Forum Announcement: Comment Period Opens on Date: 25 June 2013 Categories/Tags: * Top-Level Domains * Policy Processes * Transparency/Accountability Purpose (Brief): The joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN working Group (JIG) seeks input from the community on its draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs.

ALS Feedback points
by Pavan Budhrani July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

Hey there all, Please check the summary of main findings and suggestions from the Bejing meeting. Main points from ALS Feedback - Some found the terminology used during meetings a bit hard to catch up with, suggest to have some of the acronyms printed for ALS’es next time. - Some were overwhelmed by the schedule, suggest for future meetings, to have a one or two line objective of each meeting so they know what its mainly about and the target for those meetings. - Some wanted time to talk about their ALS, suggest to invite some ALS to speak about themselves on the monthly call. - Fellowship was a great idea, most of them enjoyed that and more of these orientation would be good for them. -- Pavan Budhrani Director of Business Development DotAsia Organisation
