Hi,

 

On second thoughts… please read my answer as saying that I haven’t come across any bugs and I haven’t heard about any. I don’t work day-to-day on any of those systems and the relevant colleagues will know things I don’t know. So it’s a positive outlook (at least I can’t reel off a list of known bugs) but not any sort of promise.

Hi,

 

Lovely questions! That is to say, I can answer one of them in the positive!

 

I’ve used the CZDS to do some work involving IDNs and it worked as I expected. If there’s anything that should work differently, I didn’t come across it.

 

RDRS is okay as far as I know, but that’s a little artificial: You can’t have a Unicode mail address as contact address for a domain, so the RDRS simply doesn’t have to handle that. I’m afraid I can’t say anything about ICANN Portal. No one has mentioned any problems in my hearing, and people are usually quick to mention problems, so I’m hopeful. Please do try (and tell me about any and all problems).

 

Arnt

Hello Arnt,

 

Do we know if CZDS and RDRS and ICANN Portal (Salesforce based) are supporting IDN emails?

 

Sincerely Yours,

ICANN like any other organisation is going to be reliant on software vendors and what they support.

 

We are still finding vendors who don’t fully support IPv6, nevermind IDNs!

Regards

Hi,

 

And in case anyone wonders why it took so long: We had an incredible number of systems that needed testing and/or update. I knew that we had lots of automated systems to help with this process and that, but even so, I was astonished to hear that there were well over a hundred systems that process mail. Fewer needed actual changes as a result of testing, but then while my colleagues were pushing vendors to fix some of these things, other colleagues installed more new software.

 

ICANN has fewer than 500 employees and its work isn’t really complex. I wonder how many systems process mail at big organisations.

Hello

 

 ICANN has been working diligently to make all of its systems fully Universal Acceptance-ready and recently achieved a significant milestone: ICANN staff can now send emails to and receive emails from internationalized email addresses. https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-universal-acceptance-update-support-for-internationalized-email-addresses-18-01-2024-en 

 

Good news!

 

 

Best Regards
