15:40 \u2013 17:00<\/strong> \u2013 Cocktail<\/p>\nFOR UNIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE (UA) DAY<\/strong><\/p>\nUniversal Acceptance (UA) Day, which will be held on March 26, 2024. Led by the volunteer Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) and ICANN, UA Day will be an opportunity for local, regional, and global communities and organizations around the world to come together and raise awareness of UA and encourage its adoption by key stakeholders.
\nUA Day will consist of awareness-raising sessions and technical UA training organized by UASG, including its UA Ambassadors, local UA initiatives, ICANN, and interested global partners and organizations. The sessions will aim to engage and mobilize the top technical and linguistic communities, companies, governments, and industry stakeholders in the Domain Name System (DNS) to better understand the benefits of UA and how to make their own systems UA-ready.<\/p>\n
About Universal Acceptance (UA)<\/strong><\/p>\nUA is a technical requirement that ensures all valid domain names and email addresses can be used by all applications, devices, and systems enabled on the Internet. While DNS has changed in recent years, the checks that many software applications use to validate domain names and email addresses remain outdated. Many systems do not recognize or properly process new domain names. These domain names include new generic top-level domains (e.g., .photography), Internationalized Domain Names (e.g., \u092e\u0947\u0908\u091f\u0935\u093e\u0908.\u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930.\u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924\/, \u7d05 \u87ba\u5bfa.\u7f51\u5740, \u0645\u0631\u0635.\u0635\u062d\u0629 , stopcoronavirus.ru), and country code top-level domains (e.g., .\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22). Furthermore, not all online portals are prepared for user account creation with a linked email address. Therefore, awareness and support for UAs are crucial for a truly global, multilingual Internet.<\/p>\n
Advantages of UA<\/strong><\/p>\nThe current Internet population consists of more than 5 billion active users, and at least another billion are expected to come online by 2024. Achieving UA for all valid domain names and email addresses is crucial to enabling consumer choice online and achieving digital inclusivity for all these users.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furthermore, there are significant economic and social benefits to supporting multilingual Internet users in their ability to access and connect with e-commerce, local communities, and governments, as well as to embrace and disseminate cultural traditions through language.<\/p>\n
For IGF MKD<\/strong><\/p>\nIGF MKD \u2013 \u201eThe Internet Governance Forum of the Republic of North Macedonia is an open, inclusive, and informal space for dialogue on Internet governance issues among all stakeholders in Macedonian society, the government, members of parliament, the private sector, civil society, the technical community, academia, the media, end users, etc.
\nThe National IGF MKD initiative should contribute to raising public awareness and promoting the so-called \u201emultistakeholder\u201c approach involving all or most stakeholders as a new form of participatory democracy, that is, fostering dialogue among all stakeholders. This \u201emulti-stakeholder\u201c approach, or \u201eengaging all stakeholders,\u201c should influence the nature of Internet governance in the Republic of North Macedonia and create cooperative models of \u201eregulation.\u201c.<\/p>\n
