Dear Esteemed CEOs,

Subject: Request to Enable ICANN-Supported IDNs to Enhance Cultural Respect

I am writing to the leading figures in the global technology industry, urging you to support ICANN-supported Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) across all platforms and applications. This initiative is crucial for promoting cultural respect and inclusivity.

IDNs allow the use of domain names in users' native scripts, significantly enhancing accessibility and respecting the linguistic diversity that exists worldwide. Supporting IDNs aligns with the principles of inclusivity and broadens engagement with non-English-speaking users.

Benefits of IDNs:

• Cultural Inclusivity: Accommodating native languages enriches cultural respect and diversity.
• Enhanced Accessibility: Makes your platforms more user-friendly across diverse language groups.
• Market Expansion: Engages new audiences by acknowledging and respecting diverse linguistic identities.

We kindly request your collaboration in:

1. Implementing comprehensive IDN support.
2. Adapting user interfaces to handle non-ASCII scripts.
3. Educating users about the benefits of IDNs.

By prioritizing this initiative, you will lead the way in fostering a globally inclusive digital environment. We are eager to collaborate and support this significant enhancement.

Thank you for considering this request to advance cultural respect and inclusivity through technology.

Best regards,

Roy Fang
