ICANN like any other organisation is going to be reliant on software vendors and what they support.

 

We are still finding vendors who don’t fully support IPv6, nevermind IDNs!

Hi,

 

And in case anyone wonders why it took so long: We had an incredible number of systems that needed testing and/or update. I knew that we had lots of automated systems to help with this process and that, but even so, I was astonished to hear that there were well over a hundred systems that process mail. Fewer needed actual changes as a result of testing, but then while my colleagues were pushing vendors to fix some of these things, other colleagues installed more new software.

 

ICANN has fewer than 500 employees and its work isn’t really complex. I wonder how many systems process mail at big organisations.

Hello

 

 ICANN has been working diligently to make all of its systems fully Universal Acceptance-ready and recently achieved a significant milestone: ICANN staff can now send emails to and receive emails from internationalized email addresses. https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-universal-acceptance-update-support-for-internationalized-email-addresses-18-01-2024-en 

 

Good news!

 

 

Best Regards
