Thank you Kind regards, Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) Universal Acceptance Steering Group, or UASG is a community initiative supported by ICANN and formed in February 2015. It is tasked with undertaking activities that will target Universal Acceptance of all domain names and email addresses. Universal Acceptance (UA) is a foundational requirement for a truly multilingual Internet, one in which users around the world can navigate entirely in local languages. It is also the key to unlocking the potential of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to foster competition, consumer choice and innovation in the domain name industry. To achieve Universal Acceptance, Internet applications and systems must treat all TLDs in a consistent manner, including new gTLDs and internationalized TLDs. Specifically, they must accept, validate, store, process and display all domain names. The UASG will present its FY2021 action plan which includes the different projects and activities to advance and promote UA and Email Address Internationalization (EAI). More details can be found on UASG.tech website.

[Online Course] Constructive Dialogue
by Fahd Batayneh July 22, 2020

July 22, 2020

Friends and Colleagues, ICANN Learn, the ICANN Online Learning Platform (OLP), has a course entitled “Constructive Dialogue” that you might find interesting. The course will explore interpersonal communication techniques so that you may learn how to develop constructive dialogue. Within the context of the unique ICANN community, you will learn how to apply tools to ensure all persons feel heard, issues are narrowed, and conversations are productive. In this course, you will explore foundational concepts, work through examples, and have access to quick reference guides for you to put the tools learned here into action. The course would need 60-90 minutes for completion, and is an excellent course for those who work in consensus-seeking working groups. While the examples shown in the course are ICANN related, understanding the underlying concepts makes the course findings applicable in non-ICANN related contexts. You can access the course on ICANN Learn here >> https://learn.icann.org/. Go to Catalog >> Skill Building. Happy learning! Thank you, Fahd Batayneh ICANN
