ALAC Statement on the Draft Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs (2 July 2013)

The ALAC is of the view that the implementation of policies that support the Universal Acceptance of IDNs is crucial for the success and uptake of IDN gTLDs and IDN ccTLDs.  We therefore support the recommendations of the JIG in its Final Report on Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs.  We urge ICANN to leverage its influence and resources to promote and support the universal acceptance of IDN TLDs broadly as described in the report towards ensuring user access and utilization of IDN TLDs as well as a consistent, predictable and secure user experience.
