Dear All, I would like to share with you some recently published materials by UASG and ICANN. I believe they are worth reading. You are also welcome to follow UASG at social networks and share these materials via your own communication channels, if appropriate. Global Internet Leaders Chart a Path Forward to Achieve Universal Acceptance – UA Insights from ICANN71 Prep Week June 21st, 2021 The <https://71.schedule.icann.org/meetings/2BQtJhqmvhy2t4Fta#/?limit=10&sortByF…> Universal Acceptance (UA) Community Update during ICANN71 Prep Week (1-3 June 2021) – which preceded the ICANN Virtual Policy Forum on 14 June – featured renown panelists from across the Internet and domain name ecosystem, including those who lead various ICANN Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs). In addition to receiving an update on UA training, research, and outreach efforts, session participants had the chance to hear pragmatic insights from each panelist on what they believe is needed to achieve an #Internet4All.

IDNs are a good example of how ICANN, with the guidance of the community, is working to support an inclusive and multilingual Internet. This aligns with ICANN's mission to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. Where are we today? To set the stage, I'm going to answer a few questions that come up frequently and may help you better understand the information in this new report on the current status of IDNs.

A Really Impressive IDN Front End
by André Schappo June 19, 2021

June 19, 2021

Just yesterday I discovered a clever IDN Front End site which has thousands of Korean Domain Names 한글 도메인 네임. It is a very good example of both creative and functional use of Korean Domain Names. I am totally impressed with this IDN Front End site. The 2 entry points I have found for this site are http://동맛집.한국 and http://역맛집.한국 I have posted some of my initial findings about the site at http://www.idnforums.com/forums/35988-interesting-idns-10.html My post includes 2 dad jokes 🙂 Over the next couple of weeks I will write a much more comprehensive and detailed blog article about this IDN Front End site. I wonder if I should include my dad jokes in my blog article? 🙂 André Schappo https://고.한국/jongno
