  7. Ensure Internet software universally accepts all domains (including IDNs) Problems when software checks user input against a hard-coded list of TLDs, TLD character length, or other incomplete or outdated criteria Does not cover policy aspects of what TLDs should be allowed or restricted What is Universal Acceptance?

  8. Examples of acceptability issues

  9. ICANN’s activities • Created discussion forum and dedicated webpage • Posted TLD verification tool at: https://github.com/icann • Consultations with ICANN stakeholders • Technical recommendations • Outreach campaign

  10. Technical recommendations • Do you need to check domain validity? • If not, don’t do it. Rethink why you do it. • If so, is it an online application? • If so, use a DNS query which is instant and up-to-date, don’t rely on a fixed list. • Last case scenario • Use a fixed list of TLDs, but make sure it has an update mechanism (e.g. once per day)

  11. Universal Acceptance of TLDs To learn about the effort, go to: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/tld-acceptance Submit comments, share suggestions and report acceptability issues to: tld-acceptance@icann.org
