Dear Pavan, Thanks for capturing all this. The feedback provides good points for keeping in mind for future meetings (both f2f and during conference calls). Thanks again Siranush Armenia

Hi Rinalia Thanks for the document.
Coming from a linguistically diverse country, I fully endorse the recommendations made by the JIG, and also support the position that you have proposed for ALAC.
As a programmer, I see several challenges ahead for DNS/website/database administrators in retrofitting IDNs into their Internet applications. I am curious to know if there any remaining technical issues that will need resolution before the Universal Acceptance policy can be reliably rolled out...in particular, are the issues around IDN variants (esp. security related) fully resolved ?

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...
Thanks.

[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

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.

Hi Satish,
That is a great question. The scope of the issues are well documented in the UX report: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/variant-tlds/active-ux-21mar13-en.pdf
As more languages consider their IDN Variant policies, we may see other challenges as well, so I am not sure whether it will ever be "complete"... but I think the operational experience already out there and the framework of the UX report should provide us enough to go out to the technical community to alert them about it and then perhaps there might be feedback to prompt more work too...
Edmon
