I have considered publishing an FEP about #GloballyInclusiveHandles . At FediForum six months ago I got the advice to write three:
1. Advocating for #GloballyInclusive handles and laying out requirements and issues
2. Explaining prior art from #Unicode technical annexes on domain names and identifiers, #ICANN label generation rules for DNS, #UniversalAcceptance, email addresses, etc.
3. Advocating for linkification of globally inclusive handles and layout out requirements and issues.
Do those sound like good FEPs to write at this point?

@Profpatsch You "added #Unicode username support to #flohmarkt" last month — wonderful to hear! I will look for your demo at #FediForum. I will propose a session on "#Globally-inclusive Fediverse handles". If you were present, it would improve the session. #UniversalAcceptance #Multilingual

Terence @Edent, Jason @north, Hong @hongminhee, I appreciate your steps in #i18n for #FediVerse. Do you plan to attend #FediForum next week (28-30 April, 15-20h UTC)? I will propose a session on "Globally-inclusive Fediverse handles". If you were present, it would improve the session. I think Philip Patsch @Profpatsch will demo too. https://fediforum.org/2026-04/ #GloballyInclusive #UniversalAcceptance #Multilingual

ICANN asks the community to review their Guidelines for Advancing Universal Acceptance (UA) Adoption: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-guidelines-for-advancing-ua-adoption-23-02-2026

UA ensures all valid domain names and email addresses work everywhere, regardless of script, language, or character length.

Developed by the UA Expert Working Group, the guidelines propose ways to drive UA adoption across a diverse set of stakeholders.

Spot any gaps or challenges? Provide your input by 13 April 2026!
