Objective:
Promote the importance of UA to the developer and end user communities. The training will be offered through NARALO and will naturally be extended to the ALSs members but also to the wider technical software development community.
The UA training series is a joint effort between NARALO, ICANN, and the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), designed to increase UA awareness across the North American region and engage with technical stakeholders directly. The sessions will provide software developers, programmers, email system administrators, and IT leaders in the region with the tools to make their own systems and applications UA ready. Participants who have completed technical sessions will receive a "Certificate of Completion" issued by UASG.
Did you know that the next billion Internet users will not be users of the Latin script? Learn how to reach them and prepare your systems now for the future Internet!
Universal Acceptance is key to achieving a digitally inclusive Internet by ensuring that all domain names and email addresses – regardless of script, language, or character length – are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. This includes supporting all country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), new and long generic top-level domains (gTLDs), and Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)In addition, the training will target university professors and students.
