   Internationalised Domain Names policy

Enabling the secure and stable use of IDNs is crucial to growing a
multilingual Internet and digital inclusivity. As stated in ICANN's mission
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article1>, the
organization (org) works "to adopt or implement policies or procedures that
take into account the use of domain names as natural-language identifiers."
In an effort to fulfill this mission, IDNs and Universal Acceptance (UA)
are included in ICANN's Strategic Plan for FY21-25
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/strategic-plan-2021-2025-24jun19-en.pdf>
as well as the ICANN President and CEO's FY22 goals
