Thanks Fahd, this is certainly an important development for Universal Acceptance for IDNs. In a related development, a draft roadmap for the UA initiative for TLDs (including IDNs) has been made available recently. This is a positive step, and it would be good for the Community to comment on the report and formulate a Statement. satish On Jun 26, 2014 5:14 PM, "Fahd Batayneh" <fahd.batayneh@icann.org> wrote:

Friends and Colleagues,

During the Public Forum at ICANN 50 in London, Jordyn Buchanan from Google confirmed that Gmail will support EAI on their platform by the end of this month.

. by the end of this month gmail is going to be the first major mail platform with full EAI support, so you'll be able to email back and forth with gmail users at least .

You can find the scribe at http://www.streamtext.net/player/carttranscript?event=SANDRINGHAM-26Jun2014 .

A good step forward for Universal Acceptance of IDNs.

Thank you,
