ICANN and UASG have released participation figures from the first-ever Universal Acceptance Day in a new report.
According to the report, thousands of members of the global Internet community across five continents took part in the milestone event.
UA Day Overview
Universal Acceptance (UA) is a technical best practice that ensures all valid domain names and email addresses, regardless of script, language, or character length, can be equally used by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. UA Day was organized to rally local, regional, and other global communities and organizations to spread UA awareness and to encourage UA adoption with key stakeholders. It was organized by the volunteer-led Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) and supported by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
UA Day events consisted of UA awareness and technical training sessions hosted by UA Ambassadors, UA Local Initiatives, At-Large Structures, Internet Society (ISOC) chapters, universities, and other interested organizations around the globe on or around 28 March 2023. The sessions aimed to engage and mobilize technical and language communities, companies, governments, and Domain Name System (DNS) industry stakeholders to better understand the benefits of UA.
Participation data in this document is based on 45 UA Day events that reported information back to ICANN as of 1 June 2023.
