of a webinars series and learning series on the ICANN learn platform which are focused on Universal Acceptance and Internationalized domain names. 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).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
