Universal Acceptance

All domain names and all email addresses work in all software applications

Universal Acceptance Steering Group

Universal Acceptance is a foundational requirement for a truly multilingual Internet, one in which users around the world can navigate entirely in local languages. It is also the key to unlocking the potential of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to foster competition, consumer choice and innovation in the domain name industry.

Universal Acceptance Steering Group

To achieve Universal Acceptance, Internet applications and systems must treat all TLDs in a consistent manner, including new gTLDs and internationalized TLDs. Specifically, they must accept, validate, store, process and display all domain names.

Now is the time to get your systems ready for Universal Acceptance and create the truly inclusive Internet of the future.
