Session Leader(s):
Don Hollander | Universal Acceptance Initiative Manager
Overview:
Universal Acceptance is the idea that all domains work in all applications. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by software developers and web site owners because their systems have not kept pace with the growth of the domain name options – including IDNs.
A Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) was formed in the first quarter of 2015 to help coordinate and accelerate acceptance of all domain names in all applications.
Agenda Details:

Panelists and presenters include Ram Mohan, Rinalia Abdul Rahim, Rich Merdinger, Mark Svancarek, Ashwin Rangan and others.
