Dennis,
The link to the entire session can

The transcript can also be found on the same link as a PDF file at http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-public-forum/transcript-public-forum-26jun14-en.
On your question of full EAI
support or partial EAI support, I am not sure about that.
Thank you,
Fahd

Email Address Internationalization (EAI) and
Gmail
This is indeed good news,
however I’d like to confirm what you’ve heard at ICANN London (the link to the
transcript below is not working for me). Is it EAI (eg 福祥@邓.中国) what they claim gmail will
support or is it just IDN email (ie dennis@邓.中国). I recently watched a
presentation in Google I/O where they also talked about IDNs in email but it was
not clear whether they will be supporting full EAI.
If anyone could shed some light
on this, it’d be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Dennis

Address Internationalization (EAI) and
Gmail
Friends and
Colleagues,
During the Public Forum at ICANN 50
in London, Jordyn Buchanan from Google confirmed that Gmail will support
EAI on their platform by the end of this month.
… by the end of this month gmail
is going to be the first major mail platform with full EAI support, so you'll be
able to email back and forth with gmail users at least
…
You can find the scribe at http://www.streamtext.net/player/carttranscript?event=SANDRINGHAM-26Jun2014.
A good step forward for Universal
Acceptance of IDNs.
Thank you,
Fahd Batayneh
