[IDN-WG] Fwd: [UA-discuss] ICANN new preview website and a chance to inquire about IDN use

[Roberto Gaetano]

Hi all.
Please see the message from Mark Datysgeld below.
I believe that we should support this initiative and get ALAC involved in demanding UA for the benefit of Internet users.
Cheers,
Roberto

Good point Mark
I agree.
We should also get support from ALAC IDN-WG to this idea.
Cheers,
Roberto

Hello everyone,

ICANN has put up a preview of its new website, which among other things seeks to be compliant with accessibility guidelines and other must-haves in this day and age. You can find it here: https://preview.icann.org/

This brought back to my mind a point made by Dusan, that ICANN should drink its own beverage, and start using IDNs and nGTLDs. While I am not hopeful they would make that their main domain (out of fear of lack of UA), they could sure use them for regional outreach campaigns and such.

The current goal on the Feedback portal is to exactly inquire about the website refresh: https://feedback.icann.org/

I would like to ask the group about its interest in giving them collective feedback, maybe as a letter, requesting something along these lines: please use the entire range of domains you enable, to show that UA is really a priority.

Best regards,
