Hi, Leon. A cross-RALO collaboration would be excellent if there is interest in the respective RALOs to take on this issue. In the past, RALOs have had different prioritization for IDN related issues. I think some awareness-raising is needed among RALOs to help them understand the nature of the problem. It is a problem of relevance to users worldwide. A webinar before ATLAS II in London and / or discussion during ATLAS II in London would be a good opportunity to do it. Would you be willing to help shepherd process (i.e., make sure a discussion happens on the topic)?

Good information. Thanks Rinalia!
I might be stating the obvious, however, this is not a problem that is exclusive to the AP region but to the rest of the regions as well. I see it as a chance to advance in a cross-regional effort in order to create awareness and engage different users and technical communities towards addressing the issue.
Could we think of ways in which we could collaborate across RALOs to help solve the problem? Maybe a cross-regional workshop at some forum?
What are your thoughts?
Best regards,
León

The challenge for ICANN is that it doesn't deal with application level problems. Nevertheless, the successful adoption of IDN TLDs is arguably a success measure for ICANN's TLD programme, so ICANN has a stake in seeing IDNs succeed.
Maybe. But if ICANN were to understand that the application issues impacts not just the health but a 'stable, secure.....' ecosystem then ICANN would be well-advised to find a corner and get to working.
In this era of roiled sensibilities and sensitivities ICANN no longer has the luxury of being Potiphar's wife; make a claim to be above reproach.
Thanks for sharing, Rinalia. Much obliged.
