Chris,
Regarding the session on Universal
Acceptance, my business partner has had some unhappy experiences with .NAME
– after all these years!
.NAME is not accepted by Apple for an ID
(for iTunes, or any Apple device), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC),
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
RA

Acceptance
BC
members,
As
mentioned in the meeting just now there is a panel tomorrow (and a
public forum closing on the 23rd March).
The
panel is at 12.30 on Wednesday in “La Paz A” entitled: TLD Universal Acceptance
Universal
Acceptance of All Domains has been an on-going effort driven by ICANN. In the
past this project's focus was on raising awareness that software vendors and
other parties needed to make sure they accepted domains from new gTLDs that
were introduced in previous rounds in 2000 and 2004. This scope has since
expanded to include IDN ccTLDs, and since the ICANN Board of Directors approved
the new gTLD program last year, many more new TLDs are expected to be added to
the root zone in the near future. The main goal of this project is to raise
awareness in the community and discuss the best ways of addressing these
issues. In order to help the project achieve these goals, we are seeking to
engage with the community on the best ways to identify and address the issues
involved. We are inviting experts, like yourself, to take part in this active
discussion so you can share your opinion on what you think could and should be
done in order to promote further universal acceptance of all domains.
We would like to allow invitees to share their experiences and opinions, as
well as answer the following questions:
1. What are the existing issues with acceptance of domains registered within
TLDs?
2. Who should be addressing the existing issues, for example, registry
operators, registrars, ISPs, software vendors, software developers, others?
3. How can ICANN promote universal acceptance of all domains effectively?
