Evan, This is a first attempt to deal with the issue of Universal Acceptance, which should be encouraged. Solving the technical issues is crucial. If you believe the scope should cover political issues, please provide that feedback as the proposal is up for comment.

Hi.
As I ready this, this is an initiative to address any technical obstacles that prevent ICANN-approved domains (and subdomains) from being usable; specifically, the inability for some applications software to understand IDN scripts, and/or may have TLDs hardcoded and may not recognize the new ones.
In essence, this is outreach to application developers, notably browser and email client makers. A worthy effort (if a few years late), but mainly an implementation effort that should be straightforward in its design.
Is there more to it than that? This is a technical and communications initiative, and it clearly doesn't address greater obstacles to "universal acceptance" such as political domain blocking.
