Hi Nadia,
Will you be able to join our meeting? This week may be tight, as the meeting
is starting in 10 minutes... but is it possible to join maybe next time?

Subject: [jig] Universal Acceptance of All TLDs project
To Joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG WG):
A diverse team of ICANN staff members from several departments are working
together on the Universal Acceptance of All Top Level Domains project. The goal
of the project is to raise awareness of the acceptability issues with software
on the Internet and to create an outreach campaign to encourage software
developers and vendors, registry operators, network administrators and others
to do what's in their power to remove these constraints so full resources of
the Internet can be utilized. As part of this outreach campaign we will be
conducting a round table discussion at the ICANN Costa Rica meeting. It is
scheduled for Wednesday, 14 March 2012, 12:40-14:00. We hope that you can
attend this session.
Overview of the project:
ICANN initiated the project when acceptability issues were first identified
relating to the earlier rounds of adding new gTLDs. For example, some software
and web sites have made the assumption that top-level domains were always
either 2 or 3 characters long, which is problematic for a number of newer TLDs.
More attention has been given to these issues with the adoption of IDN
top-level domains, and with the expectation that many more ASCII and IDN gTLDs
will be added to the DNS in the near future.
ICANN is conducting an outreach within the ICANN community to develop a plan to
best improve awareness of these issues. As part of this outreach, we contacted
the existing gTLD and IDN ccTLD registry operators to gather their feedback and
share their experiences of what acceptability issues they've encountered or
received reports of in the past. We have also updated the webpage dedicated to
this project on icann.org and included the link to the Initial Report on
Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs prepared by your Working Group. Please see:
http://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/tld-acceptance
In 2006, we developed some proof-of-concept TLD verification code that was
written in several programming languages. We have posted the most recent
version of this code on Github that will allow for collaborative future
development at https://github.com/icann. This code is currently posted in five
languages — Java, C, C#, Perl and Python. We are currently reviewing the code
to make some improvements, and have plans to add new functionality as well as
making the tools available in additional programming languages.
If you have any questions, please contact me at nadia.sokolova@xxxxxxxxx.
