[vip] Email Address Internationalization (EAI) and Gmail

[Fahd Batayneh]

Dennis,

 

The link to the entire session can be found at
http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-public-forum. The transcript can
also be found on the same link as a PDF file at
http://london50.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-public-forum/transcript-public-for
um-26jun14-en.

 

On your question of full EAI support or partial EAI support, I am not sure
about that.

 

Thank you,

 

Fahd

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  <mailto:福祥@邓.中国> 福祥@邓.中国) what they claim gmail will
support or is it just IDN email (ie dennis@ <mailto:dennis@邓.中国> 邓.中
国). 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.

 

If anyone could shed some light on this, it’d be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Dennis

Friends and Colleagues,

 

During the Public Forum at ICANN 50 in London, Jordyn Buchanan from Google
confirmed that Gmail will support EAI on their platform by the end of this
month.

 

… by the end of this month gmail is going to be the first major mail
platform with full EAI support, so you'll be able to email back and forth
with gmail users at least …

 

You can find the scribe at
http://www.streamtext.net/player/carttranscript?event=SANDRINGHAM-26Jun2014.

 

A good step forward for Universal Acceptance of IDNs.

 

Thank you,

 

Fahd Batayneh
