Hello, everyone. I have not received feedback regarding the 9-page draft final report from the JIG. My personal opinion is that recommendations of the report do require At-Large support, particularly if IDN TLD adoption is considered to be important for Internet users. I propose the following simple response - your comments are most welcome: *ALAC Statement on the Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs* The ALAC is of the view that the implementation of policies that support the Universal Acceptance of IDNs is crucial for the success and uptake of IDN gTLDs and IDN ccTLDs. We therefore support the recommendations of the JIG in its Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs. We urge ICANN to leverage its influence and resources to promote and support the universal acceptance of IDN TLDs broadly as described in the report towards ensuring user access and utilization of IDN TLDs as well as a consistent, predictable and secure user experience. ---- end Comments welcome on the wiki here: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Draft+Final+Repor...

[Extract on General Recommendations]
1. 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 TLDregistries 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
