Internet Access: UNESCO and ICANN Join Forces to Improve Linguistic Diversity Online

PARIS and LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — UNESCO and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) are announcing a new agreement to enhance linguistic diversity in the digital world. This will make the Internet more accessible to hundreds of millions of users.

Under this new agreement, UNESCO and ICANN will cooperate to support the secure use of additional scripts and languages in the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS), encompassing the domain names and email addresses that are key for access and online communication. The two organizations also will work together to drive the Universal Acceptance (UA) of all domain names and email addresses, regardless of character length, language, or script, in all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems.

“In an increasingly digital world, it is essential to facilitate people’s access to the Internet. But today, there are only around 400 languages fully accessible online, representing just a fraction of the world’s 7,000 spoken languages. This agreement improving linguistic diversity represents an important step towards achieving the goal of an Internet accessible to all,” said Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO.

“We look forward to working with UNESCO to bridge digital divides and connect communities,” said Kurtis Lindqvist, President and CEO of ICANN. “Supporting domain names in local scripts and language, and their Universal Acceptance, is essential to enabling a diverse and multilingual online experience. This collaboration with UNESCO reaffirms our goal of one world, one Internet.”

Connecting the Next Billion People
Today more than 5.4 billion people regularly use the Internet, yet another 2.6 billion users that are still to come online. Most of these current and potential users communicate in their local languages and scripts. Domain names that use various languages and scripts, called Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), will help ensure that everyone has the ability to experience the full social and economic power of the Internet. IDNs allow Internet users to choose the domain name and email address in the language and script that best suits their needs and culture. 

Universal Acceptance is necessary to ensure that all of these domain names and email addresses work seamlessly on the Internet. However, often of the checks used by many software applications to validate domain names and email addresses often use rules created many years ago, which do not support all domain names, especially those in local languages and scripts. Organizations and stakeholders need to take steps to ensure their systems are UA-ready to enjoy these benefits. 

About UNESCO
With 194 Member States, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization contributes to peace and security by leading multilateral cooperation on education, science, culture, communication and information. Headquartered in Paris, UNESCO has offices in 54 countries and employs over 2300 people. UNESCO oversees more than 2000 World Heritage sites, Biosphere Reserves and Global Geoparks; networks of Creative, Learning, Inclusive and Sustainable Cities; and over 13 000 associated schools, university chairs, training and research institutions. Its Director-General is Audrey Azoulay.

“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed” – UNESCO Constitution, 1945.

About ICANN
ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.

“As the world’s most trusted solution for aerial operations in public safety and infrastructure maintenance, DJI continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI. “With DJI Dock 3, we’re proud to deliver innovative and reliable solutions that can flexibly adapt to the needs of operators on the ground.”

Adaptable to Extreme Environments
Designed for critical operations in extreme conditions, DJI Dock 3 can operate and charge seamlessly in extreme temperatures up to 50°C and as low as -30°C when pre-heated. Its design further safeguards its internal system with an exceptional IP56 dust and water-resistant rating.

Flexible Deployment, Ultra-Long Transmission
DJI Dock 3 can flexibly support emergency operations and long-distance inspections. Optimized for vehicle-mounted deployments, it supports horizontal calibration and cloud-based calibrations. For higher efficiency, two docks can be simultaneously deployed on a single vehicle for dual-drone rotations.

High-Performance DJI Matrice 4D and 4TD
The all-new DJI Matrice 4D and 4TD drones are IP55-rated and feature an extended 54 minutes of forward-flight time and 47 minutes of hovering. Both drones have a wide-angle camera, a medium tele camera, a tele camera, and a Laser Range Finder. The Night Scene mode offers full-color night vision, and the 4TD offers additional IR-Cut Filter features for black-and-white night vision. With the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise remote controller, the drones can fly standalone or with an innovative onboard relay function to extend the drone’s operational range.

Other Notable Features

  • Intelligent Operation for Efficient Missions: DJI FlightHub 2 can further enhance the dock’s remote operations. Once a flight route is set, intelligent settings enable the drone to automatically identify vehicles and vessels or detect infrared temperature anomalies. Changes to an area can also be analyzed with the new intelligent change detection feature.
  • Precise Maneuvering in Complex Environments: An Obstacle Sensing Module can be added to equip the Matrice 4D/4TD drone with LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar technology.
