What was the motivation behind its creation, and now, its revision? What is the status of the PDP? What are the most controversial issues during the current evaluation*,* and why? Why is the TP review essential for the *end-user*?

Register for our upcoming 2022 Universal Acceptance Training Series. At not cost!
by Eduardo Diaz Dec. 1, 2021

Dec. 1, 2021

[image: Screen Shot 2021-12-01 at 10.56.09 AM.png] *REGISTER HERE* <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJArduqqrjgrHdB42CrNFo5wtKAz4RBv-q7i> Why? The Domain Name System (DNS) has changed dramatically over the last decade. There are now more than 1,200 active generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) representing many different scripts and character strings of varying length (e.g., .дети, .london, .engineering). There are also more than 60 Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) representing global communities online in native scripts (e.g., . ไทย). Universal Acceptance (UA) is the cornerstone to a digitally inclusive Internet because it ensures all domain names and email addresses – in any language, script, or new or extended TLD (e.g., .在线, .photography) – are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. Achieving UA ensures every person can navigate and communicate on the Internet using their chosen domain names and email addresses that best aligns with users’ interests, business, culture, language, and script. Most of the world does not speak English as a first language or write it only using letters A-Z, a-z. Only around 36 percent of the world population uses the Latin alphabet. Billions of people prefer to read and write in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, or other scripts. Many of these multilingual users are currently excluded from experiencing the full benefits of the Internet simply because they cannot use a domain name or email address in their language and script of choice. The training is mainly geared to the following audience, but anyone interested can participate: - System developers - Email system administrators - Software and application developers - Technical managers - University professors and students studying computer or social sciences and business) – in particular, those interested in Internet research - Chief technology officers - Internet-based startups - App developers - Network managers - Internet service providers - Anyone interested in learning more about the use and acceptance of new top-level domains The training is open to the general public, so feel free to forward this message to your co-workers, friends, and family. *REGISTER HERE <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJArduqqrjgrHdB42CrNFo5wtKAz4RBv-q7i>* Happy Holidays! Eng. Eduardo Díaz Chair, ICANN NARALO Director of International Relations, ISOC Puerto Rico Director, IICOM Colegio de Ingenieros de PR *Note:* The seminar will be presented in English. There will be no simultaneous interpretation.
