The IGF pre-week online discussions may be of interest to some. Two sessions will be held this week, one on Tuesday 20 October, and the other on Wednesday 21 October.

The current year, 2020, marks the midway point of this extended mandate. In addition, the ‎recently released UN Secretary-General's Roadmap for Digital Cooperation and its support for a ‎strengthened and expanded IGF (the IGF+) presents the opportunity for ‎deeper engagement on the IGF's achievements and challenges and for exploring approaches for ‎addressing emerging Internet policy issues.‎ To reflect on the IGF's achievement of its mandate and contribute ‎to the discussion on the architecture for digital cooperation, the IGF MAG chair, in ‎collaboration with the IGF MAG Working Group on IGF Strengthening and Strategy, is convening ‎a series of online discussions during September and October 2020. ‎ UPCOMING THIS WEEK: 1.

While we have all accepted that the Internet is an essential ‎part of our societies, it is hard to provide a single definition of what it is. The ‎Internet is not 'one' thing and it is not a monolith. At the same time, in the absence ‎of a definition, it is often hard to analyze its evolution, explain which ‎developments are healthy and which are not, and understand how some ‎approaches could be problematic. On top of that, there is also the tangible danger ‎that the Internet with a capital "I" might simply disappear from the discourse, ‎subsumed by higher level concepts, such Digital economy, Digital transformation, ‎etc..‎ One promising way to address these issues is to look at some of the properties that ‎characterize the Internet. These properties should not be seen in isolation but in ‎conjunction with the benefits they generate.

ICANN69 Virtual - Agenda
by Fahd Batayneh Oct. 18, 2020

Oct. 18, 2020

Friends and Colleagues, ICANN69 Virtual Plenary Week starts tomorrow; Monday 19 October 2020. On Monday 19 October, there is a good number of sessions that might be of interest to you. Worth noting are the following sessions: Tech Day | 07.00 – 12.00 UTC Technical Workshop, with presentations, discussions and hands-on demonstrations in an interactive format. Open to anyone interested in technical topics related to registry work, security etc. The Domain Name Business: Everything You Want to Know, Ask or Discuss | 08.30 – 10.00 UTC This education, outreach, and engagement plenary session from the ICANN Contract Parties (registries and registrars) aims to improve broader community understanding of the key dynamics of the industry sector on which the finances of ICANN and the ICANN community are based. Generic top-level domain (TLD) registries and registrars occupy a unique position within the ICANN community in that they are directly contracted with ICANN. Outreach for Addressing Universal Acceptance | 10.30 – 12.00 UTC This is a working session to provide an overview of the outreach efforts addressing the Universal Acceptance (UA) of all domain names and email addresses, as well as the impact on these efforts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The UA Ambassadors, Local Initiatives and Communications working groups will also discuss how to engage more effectively. Details on how to join the above sessions (via Zoom), or even to view the full agenda can be found here >> https://69.schedule.icann.org/. Thank you, Fahd Batayneh ICANN

Dear Ajay Thank you very much for the useful info. my comments 1- i believe that any effort UA does will be useful. However, in my opinion, Google will only respect market forces rather than what is right for the world. I could be wrong. Once the world uses IDN , Google will join in. Once google realises that they are losing market share due to the other search engines respecting IDN more than they do , they will join in. 2- another important thing that will help IDN : Appraisals. we need to establish an entity to do appraisals for IDN domain. I had a chinese domain and wanted to appraise it for a cient. The top experts in the US looked at my request with sarcasm. and the chinese top guys I know had no clue! this is important my question remains, we need exact info on how Bauidu , naver and Yandex treat IDN today and what is the difference in the way they treat IDN.com and IDN.IDN Thanks wael On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 11:18 AM Ajay DATA <ajay(a)xgenplus.com> wrote: > Hello Wael, > > Universal Acceptance is the concept that all domain names should be > treated equally.
