编者按：

     此次负责全球互联网域名地址资源协调管理的权威机构ICANN总裁兼CEO亲自担任UA荣誉大使，足以表明推动全球非英语地区网民使用本民族语言访问互联网是ICANN的重要战略使命，也间接说明了全球多语种域名在互联网应用领域的普遍适用性还有很长的路要走。作为全球化域名的重要组成部分，中文域名的整体推广应用工作，在工信部和互联网协会的领导和协调下，无论中文域名的注册量、应用解析量和整体应用环境在全球都属于领先地位。UA推广大使是ICANN普遍适用性指导小组(UASG)为了推动国际化域名在各个国家和地区的应用和普及、完善国际化域名的互联网应用环境，邀请互联网域名业界的专家所担任的荣誉性职务。点商标管理机构运营总裁吴养怡先生自2019年起受邀成为UA推广大使，就一直致力于推动中文域名的应用普及。

近日，普遍适用性指导小组(UASG)已任命互联网名称与数字地址分配机构(ICANN)总裁兼首席执行官马跃然为名誉UASG大使，对此UASG表示很满意。通过这个角色，马跃然将帮助加强UA工作的重要性，以实现多语言互联网。

The Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) is pleased to announce that it has named Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) President and CEO, Göran Marby, as an honorary UASG Ambassador. In this role, Marby will help amplify the importance of UA work to enable a multilingual Internet.

UASG是一个互联网社区倡议，致力于促进所有有效域名和电子邮件地址的普遍适用性(UA)。这个志愿者组织总共有500多人，他们分别代表了多个组织、企业和ICANN社区。另外，UASG由ICANN提供支持和资助。

The UASG is an Internet community initiative that focuses on facilitating the Universal Acceptance (UA) of all valid domain names and email addresses. The volunteer group is made up of more than 500 individuals representing multiple organizations, businesses, and the ICANN community. The UASG is supported and funded by ICANN.
“马跃然为国际化域名和普遍适用性做出了突出的专业和个人贡献，加上他在ICANN的职位以及在技术和政府部门的经验，使他成为了UA的重要资源和发言人。”UASG主席Ajay Data博士说，“他对IDN和UA的影响和承诺将有助于UASG努力促进UA的准备工作达到一个新的高度。”

“Göran’s professional and personal commitment to Internationalized Domain Names and Universal Acceptance, coupled with his position at ICANN and experience in the tech and governmental sectors, make him a tremendous resource and spokesperson for UA,” said UASG Chair, Dr. Ajay Data. “His influence and commitment to IDNs and UA will help take the UASG’s efforts of promoting UA-readiness to the next level.”
马跃然的任命一事是UASG战略重点的一部分，该战略重点是通过与全球领先的利益相关者合作，提供UA解决方案，并加快UA在世界各地的准备进程。这些利益相关者包括政府领导人、顶级技术公司以及一些国际组织如国际电信联盟(ITU)、联合国和其他行业组织。

Marby’s appointment is part of the UASG’s strategic focus to provide UA solutions and increase UA-readiness around the world by engaging with leading global stakeholders. These stakeholders include government leaders, top technology companies, and international organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), United Nations, and other industry organizations.
马跃然说:“被UASG任命为UA名誉大使是我的荣幸。“IDN和UA是支持更多语言和更易访问的互联网的关键，我期待着推广UA提供的策略和信息，帮助使UA展望成为现实。”马跃然还指出，UA是ICANN的战略计划之一，也是他作为ICANN首席执行官的目标之一。

“It is a privilege to be named an honorary UA Ambassador by the UASG,” said Marby. “IDNs and UA are key to supporting a more multilingual and accessible Internet, and I look forward to amplifying the message of UA adoption to help make UA a reality.”Marby also noted that UA is included in ICANN’s strategic plan and his goals as CEO of ICANN.
UA是多语言互联网的基石，它的目的是确保所有的域名和电子邮件地址——任何语言、脚本或字符长度(例如.рф， .photography)——都能被所有支持互联网的应用程序、设备和系统平等接受，实现UA可以确保每个人都有能力使用他们选择的与他们的兴趣、业务、文化、语言和字体最一致的域名和电子邮件地址，以便于在互联网上导航和交流。

UA is cornerstone to a multilingual Internet by ensuring all domain names and email addresses – in any language, script, or character length (e.g., .рф, .photography) – are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. Achieving UA ensures every person has the ability to navigate and communicate on the Internet using their chosen domain name and email address that best aligns with their interests, business, culture, language, and script.
