SDGs
4. Quality Education
8. Decent Work and Economic Growth
10. Reduced Inequalities
Targets: Universal Acceptance (UA) is a fundamental requirement for a truly multilingual and digitally inclusive Internet. UA ensures that all valid domain names can be used by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems regardless of script, language, or character length. UA also supports the ability for email mailbox names to use characters in local languages and scripts through Email Address Internationalization (EAI) standards. Achieving UA ensures everyone has the ability to navigate and communicate on the Internet using the domain name and email address that best aligns with their interests, business, culture, language, and script. Being UA-ready will help bring the next billion people online, many of whom currently face linguistic barriers to the Internet.

Description
The objective of this lightning talk is to highlight the significance of Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) and universal acceptance, their role in bridging the digital divide, and the various initiatives undertaken across different regions worldwide. It will also address the activities of various country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registries, emphasise the importance of a multistakeholder approach in this field, and present the findings of the 2025 IDN World Report.
Lightning Talks are fully in-person sessions, in case it would be possible to have the session as a hybrid one, we will make sure there is an online moderator to make sure that the online audience is involved and the questions and comments raised online are addressed and the audience is invited to raise their voice.
