<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0F243E">This is indeed
good news, however I’d like to confirm what you’ve heard at
ICANN London (the link to the transcript below is not
working for me). Is it EAI (eg
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:%E7%A6%8F%E7%A5%A5@%E9%82%93.%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD"><span
style="font-family:SimSun" lang="ZH-CN">福祥</span>@<span
style="font-family:SimSun" lang="ZH-CN">邓</span>.<span
style="font-family:SimSun" lang="ZH-CN">中国</span></a>)
what they claim gmail will support or is it just IDN email
(ie
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:dennis@%E9%82%93.%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD">dennis@<span
style="font-family:SimSun" lang="ZH-CN">邓</span>.<span
style="font-family:SimSun" lang="ZH-CN">中国</span></a>).
I recently watched a presentation in Google I/O where they
also talked about IDNs in email but it was not clear whether
they will be supporting full EAI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0F243E"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0F243E">If anyone could
shed some light on this, it’d be greatly appreciated.</span></p>

The transcript is here:<br>

<br>
and the text says EAI.<br>
