Hello Don and Friends,

I am pleased to share big news from India.

India`s leading news paper rajasthanpatrika.com <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frajasthanpat...> goes live with पत्रिका.भारत <http://xn--11b3arz5ee0h.xn--h2brj9c/> domain and offers full site / content in Hindi. They call this as *"Biggest change of Web Life"*

They today announced it on FRONT PAGE of the news paper by changing the header.

Our team has worked with them for months and enabled all emails on domain too.

This is a big landmark event in the history of IDNs and EAI. Lets create more of these.

Thanks

Baidu using IDNs: very cool! when i copied and pasted "百度.在线” into a browser (i used chrome) it worked great. check. no need to prefix it, etc. to “linkify” it. when i then copied the URL out of the browser and pasted into slack, slack converted it into “xn—“ notation. not check. it was linkified correctly when i prefixed "百度.在线” with “http://“ typing it into slack, slack did linkify it correctly. check when i copy and past "百度.在线” into slack it does not linkify it without also typing in the prefix, slack would linkify it if the TLD was a legacy TLD such as “.com" so still some work to do on linkification

Yes, very positive use on the IDN front. I notice that they redirect to another, non-IDN TLD. I would love to know their plans or expectation for the future. I see redirection from IDN to non-IDN as simply another way of broadening the funnel for an existing site, so see no negative side in it…I do wonder what they are thinking, however. --Rich Richard Merdinger VP, Domains - GoDaddy rmerdinger@godaddy.com<mailto:rmerdinger@godaddy.com> From: <ua-discuss-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Lars Steffen <lars.steffen@eco.de> Date: Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 2:04 AM To: "Dr.AJAY D A T A" <ajay@data.in>, universal access <ua-discuss@icann.org> Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] India`s leading newspaper goes live with IDN domain This is great news!
