Search for Ashwin Rangan and find "Breaking the Linguistic Barriers to Accessing the Internet" on page 54 of this publication. Ashwin, who is ICANN's CIO and has first hand experience in getting systems UA Ready, tackles the issues around UA, EAI, IDNs and local language content. He also touches on Universal Access which is the idea that everyone will have access to the Internet.

by Don Hollander Oct. 5, 2018

Oct. 5, 2018

Does this mean that there are no longer any issues in keeping the Unicode and IDNA 2008 aligned? Or does it mean that an exercise is required by the IETF every time there's a new release from Unicode? Don Don Hollander Secretary General - UASG Skype: Don_Hollander

World Report on IDNs
by Don Hollander Sept. 27, 2018

Sept. 27, 2018

The latest version of this annual report has been released at https://idnworldreport.eu/ It includes a section on Universal Acceptance. It contends that the low uptake of IDNs (~2%) will improve once all application support all IDNs. It also notes that IDN registrations have fallen markedly in the previous year - part, but not all, of this from a reduction of IDN.vn from almost 1 million to just 5,000. VN started charging for the names in the year under review. D Don Hollander Secretary General - UASG Skype: Don_Hollander
