Dear Chokri,
Thanks for your response.
However, Universal Acceptance (UA) ensures that all domain names, including
new top-level domains (TLDs), IDN and email addresses are treated equally
and can be used by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems.
This is the scope of UA. EAI if you mean Email Address
Internationalization. yes this is part of UA, and again like I said,
Raymond is right with his topic, but I was just trying to ensure that we
deal with real issues that require ICANN's attention based on my little
experience as a UA ambassador and also your representative on the ICANN
EPDP on IDN. ICANN already knows the importance of IDN so we don't need to
overflog that to them. That is why they fund UA and also set up the EPDP on
IDN. However I might be wrong if the essence of the topic is for community
awareness not for the attention of the ICANN board.
I hope you get what I mean.
Thanks


AK
