New Intro to UA ICANN Learn Course!
by Jane Sexton Aug. 12, 2021

Aug. 12, 2021

Hi All – On behalf of ICANN Communications and the UA Program, I’m excited to announce that a new Introduction to Universal Acceptance (UA) course is now available on the ICANN Learn platform<https://learn.icann.org/>! We believe this will be a great resource for the general Internet community as well as for more targeted UA stakeholders like technology enablers and developers, email service providers, governments, and policymakers. The course provides a basic understanding of UA and its technical challenges as well as the economic and social benefits of being UA-ready. It will also be a great resource for people who want to get involved UASG efforts. To learn more about the course please read Sarmad’s blog here: https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/learn-how-you-can-help-build-a-more-… We ask that you please share this new course with your networks and take the course yourself. As UA experts, the information will not be new to you but your participation will help us make this one of the most completed ICANN Learn courses!

Dear All, APRALO organizes a webinar on IDNs and I'd like to extend this invitation to all of you.

The webinar will provide attendees with an introductory understanding of IDNs from an end-user perspective, and will cover topics such as the basic concepts; the work done on IDNs since its launch in 2011; the process of delegation of IDNs into the Root Zone; IDN Variants and their management; IDN-based aspects of Subsequent Procedures; and the context of the EPDP on IDNs. The 3 speakers joining webinar moderator, *Satish Babu*, are: *1. Emily Taylor, CEO, Oxford Information Labs 2. Sarmad Hussain, Sr Director, ICANN UA & IDN Programs 3.

ICANN72 to be Virtual Annual General Meeting, ICANN73 Planning Update
by Data July 16, 2021

July 16, 2021

Just in case you missed . --------------------------------------- LOS ANGELES - 15 July 2021 Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that ICANN72 will convene as a Virtual Annual General Meeting due to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of the ICANN community and staff is always a top priority, and as such, holding ICANN72 as an in-person or hybrid meeting would not be feasible by its scheduled date. The resolution and full rationale from the ICANN Board of Directors can be found here. This Public Meeting was initially scheduled to be held in Seattle, United States of America, from 23 to 28 October 2021. ICANN72 Virtual Annual General Meeting will take place in the Pacific Daylight Time zone (UTC -7) but the exact dates may change slightly following consultation with ICANN community leadership.

Hi Mark Datysgeld, Well done! It is a very useful job. Coding libraries are key to success for UA. They are foundations and backbones. I like the sentence below in the blog. Nice summary! "If such code does not support UA, it can potentially cause the entire application using the code to fail to handle UA properly." Thank you and all involved.
