Session Details
Universal Acceptance (UA) ensures that all domain names and email addresses, including new gTLDs and internationalized domain names (IDNs), function equally across systems and platforms. While significant technical progress has been made, adoption remains inconsistent across regions, sectors, and digital services.
This session will explore UA not just as a technical issue, but as a policy challenge requiring coordinated action from governments, private sector actors, and the ICANN community. It will examine whether existing ICANN frameworks sufficiently promote UA readiness and what policy interventions are needed to accelerate implementation.
The discussion will highlight experiences from emerging markets, where lack of UA readiness continues to limit digital inclusion, local content development, and access to digital services.Agenda: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/G4DvNw

Session Details
This plenary session would convene the community to assess the feasibility and implications of leveraging a platform through which new gTLDs supported by the Applicant Support Program (ASP) could transition toward operating their own back-end registry services.Building on GAC advice from ICANN79 and ICANN80 and subsequent exchanges with the ICANN Board, the session would provide a structured opportunity for cross-community dialogue involving the GAC, GNSO, ALAC, ICANN org, and other relevant stakeholders.The discussion would aim to clarify the scope and objectives of the proposed platform concept; examine operational, financial, and governance considerations; explore interactions with existing Registry Service Providers (RSPs) and the RSP framework; and consider ICANN’s potential role, consistent with its mission and remit.The session would be exploratory in nature, focused on developing a shared understanding of feasibility, policy implications, and potential next steps.
