Hi.
As I ready this, this is an initiative to address any technical obstacles
that prevent ICANN-approved domains (and subdomains) from being usable;
specifically, the inability for some applications software to understand
IDN scripts, and/or may have TLDs hardcoded and may not recognize the new
ones.
In essence, this is outreach to application developers, notably browser and
email client makers. A worthy effort (if a few years late), but mainly an
implementation effort that should be straightforward in its design.
Is there more to it than that? This is a technical and communications
initiative, and it clearly doesn't address greater obstacles to "universal
acceptance" such as political domain blocking.
