Allocate specific resources for the advocacy of
Universal Acceptance beyond the development of
informational materials and toolkits
C.
Development of informative reference materials for
new IDN TLDs (including gTLD and ccTLD) to handle
issues of Universal Acceptance
D.
Direct efforts, lead by staff, with the participation from
the community, for further studies to investigate the
scope of the issue and what other services or actions
could be taken by ICANN to support the Universal
Acceptance of IDN TLDs beyond outreach and
awareness campaigns
Proposed Recommendations
A. Get Our Own Act Together
B. Make it a Strategic Initiative for ICANN
C. Support for New IDN TLDs: Best Practices
D. Beyond Outreach: Be Proactive in Facilitating

confused, overall trust on the DNS will be harmed
