RE: [bc-gnso] TLD Universal Acceptance

Ron,

I appears to me that your example of .NAME SLDs not being universally accepted 
as IDs for e-commerce sites is not directly related to the "Universal 
Acceptance" topic.

Universal acceptance is the ability to resolve DNS queries TO individual TLDs, 
e.g., the early (or even ongoing) problems in reaching .TRAVEL because it is 
more than three characters or not in some software lists of valid TLDs.  Being 
able to resolve the IP address of a .NAME URI is not related to the 
unwillingness of Apple or BBC to accept a .NAME registration as valid user 
identification credentials.

Chris,

Regarding the session on Universal Acceptance, my business partner has had some 
unhappy experiences with .NAME - after all these years!

.NAME is not accepted by Apple for an ID (for iTunes, or any Apple device), 
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Sears, New York Department of 
Education, among many others.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

RA

Subject: [bc-gnso] TLD Universal Acceptance

BC members,

As mentioned  in the meeting just now  there is a panel tomorrow (and a public 
forum closing on the 23rd March).

The panel is at 12.30 on Wednesday in "La Paz A"  entitled: TLD Universal 
Acceptance

 Universal Acceptance of All Domains has been an on-going effort driven by 
ICANN. In the past this project's focus was on raising awareness that software 
vendors and other parties needed to make sure they accepted domains from new 
gTLDs that were introduced in previous rounds in 2000 and 2004. This scope has 
since expanded to include IDN ccTLDs, and since the ICANN Board of Directors 
approved the new gTLD program last year, many more new TLDs are expected to be 
added to the root zone in the near future. The main goal of this project is to 
raise awareness in the community and discuss the best ways of addressing these 
issues. In order to help the project achieve these goals, we are seeking to 
engage with the community on the best ways to identify and address the issues 
involved. We are inviting experts, like yourself, to take part in this active 
discussion so you can share your opinion on what you think could and should be 
done in order to promote further universal acceptance of all domains.

We would like to allow invitees to share their experiences and opinions, as 
well as answer the following questions:

1. What are the existing issues with acceptance of domains registered within 
TLDs?

2. Who should be addressing the existing issues, for example, registry 
operators, registrars, ISPs, software vendors, software developers, others?

3. How can ICANN promote universal acceptance of all domains effectively?

and the initial report found here
