"Completing the Internationalization Equation" is a phrase I coined a few weeks ago. Basically it involves considering for some X whether X is fully internationalised and, if not, making it, if possible, fully/further internationalized ie completing the internationalisation
equation.

<div class="">WRT to UA I consider this involves integrating UA into the much broader context of Internationalization of the internet.</div>

</div>
<div class="">There are simple actions we can all individually take to complete the internationalisation equation. There are many opportunities to complete this equation. There will be opportunities I have not thought of.</div>

<div class="">Let me give you an example of something I did recently.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I looked at the Alexa stats <a href="https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/uasg.tech#trafficstats" class="">alexa.com/siteinfo/uasg.tech#trafficstats</a> for
<a href="http://uasg.tech" class="">uasg.tech</a> and discovered that one of the top keywords from search engines was, and still is, at time of writing, ユニバーサルアクセプタンス. This is "Universal Acceptance" written in Japanese Katakana. I then made a connection with
twitter. If you look at <a href="http://twitter.com/ICANN/status/1106344430053650432" class="">twitter.com/ICANN/status/1106344430053650432</a> you will see I replied with the hashtag #ユニバーサル・アクセプタンス. I used a slightly different form to the Alexa listed keyword.
I separated the two words with the Katakana middle dot.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Another simple method for completing the equation is for those of you that have your personal name(s) in both romanised and native script forms then use both forms in your emails to this list.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any other thoughts for how the internationalization equation can be completed?</div>
