Dear everybody: When I tried to create an EAI account (containing Hangeul, "김경석"), I got the following error message: Please use only letters (a-z), numbers, and periods By "by the end of this month", does google mean "June 30" or "July 31". Or is there a special home page for creating an EAI account? Thanks. KIM, K On Sat, Jun 28, 2014 at 7:24 AM, Asmus Freytag <asmusf@ix.netcom.com> wrote:

This is indeed good news, however I’d like to confirm what you’ve heard at ICANN London (the link to the transcript below is not working for me). Is it EAI (eg 福祥@邓.中国) what they claim gmail will support or is it just IDN email (ie dennis@邓.中国). I recently watched a presentation in Google I/O where they also talked about IDNs in email but it was not clear whether they will be supporting full EAI.

If anyone could shed some light on this, it’d be greatly appreciated.

The transcript is here:

and the text says EAI.

Thanks!

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,

Fahd Batayneh
