Dear all,

Main UA Day event announcement has been published at https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/save-the-dates-ua-day-event-celebrations-27-01-2025-en.

The global Internet community is gearing up to celebrate the third annual Universal Acceptance (UA) Day. The main UA Day 2025 event will take center stage on 8 May in Hanoi, Vietnam, kicking off the APAC DNS Forum. It is being organized in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the ICANN community, including the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG). These events also coincide with the Contracted Parties Summit, which will also be held in Hanoi. Nearly 60 additional UA Day 2025 events will take place from March through the end of May to promote UA adoption, with virtual, in-person, and hybrid participation.

ICANN's collaboration with UNESCO will allow for broader and more diverse outreach efforts and further build on the momentum achieved in the previous two years. UA is vital to enabling a multilingual and inclusive Internet, in accordance with a UNESCO Recommendation on the promotion on multilingualism, where people can engage online using domain names and email addresses that reflect their language, culture, and preferences.

Best regards,
Seda Akbulut
