G’day all… I’m hoping that you can help. I'm currently looking for the following contacts: - Yahoo - Someone who is familiar with their e-mail platform and plans for EAI - Adobe - Someone within their Flash Development Team - Mozilla - Someone within their Firefox team who’s working on Flash implementations - Twitter - Someone who is familiar with how they handle Linkifications If you are such a person, or you personally know such a person - or even know someone who will know someone (3 degrees of separation) - can you please let me know off the list? Thanks. Don don.hollander(a)icann.org

Use Cases
by Don Hollander Jan. 4, 2016

Jan. 4, 2016

During recent calls, there’s been a desire for some UA Use Cases. This from a document we had developed some time ago. I would welcome people’s suggestions for which of these should be tested - as there’s a cost associated with testing each one. Don Universal Acceptance Use Cases for UA Readiness Evaluation Purpose: To provide Use Cases for developers to use when evaluating the UA Readiness of their systems. This list will provide generic examples as well as specific names that can be used for testing. Background: Background on Universal Acceptance to go here Domain Names: Examples • secondlevel.toplevel • 域名.toplevel • secondlevel.域名 • 域名.域名 • secondlevel.punycode • punycode.toplevel • punycode.punycode • Second. חלק עליון(Right-to-left TLD) • שני. חלק עליון (Right-to-left second level and top-level) Path Cases (IRIs) • secondlevel.toplevel/unicode • 域名.toplevel/unicode • secondlevel.域名/unicode • 域名.域名/Unicode • secondlevel.punycode/unicode • punycode.toplevel/unicode • punycode.punycode/unicode • Second. חלק עליון/Unicode (Right-to-left TLD) • שני. חלק עליון /Unicode (Right-to-left second level and top-level) E-mail Addresses: • localpart(a)domain.tld<mailto:localpart@domain.tld> • localpart(a)xn--eqrt2g.tld • localpart @domain.域名 • localpart(a)xn--eqrt2g.xn--eqrt2g<mailto:localpart@域名.域名> • localpart(a)domain.punycode<mailto:localpart@domain.punycode> • localpart(a)punycode.tld<mailto:localpart@punycode.tld> • localpart(a)punycode.punycode<mailto:localpart@punycode.punycode> • 域名(a)xn--eqrt2g.xn--eqrt2g • שני. חלק עליון@localpart

CIOs Wanted
by Don Hollander Dec. 17, 2015

Dec. 17, 2015

As we move forward on the completion of our documentation, we’re looking for some community CIO’s to provide guidance about what should be in and what shouldn’t be in a CIO Guidebook. Our plan is to have a focus group of people that we know very well and who understand the issue but have the role of CIO or senior IT staff and can look at the documentation from that perspective. And after that, we will have a focus group of CIO’s from outside the industry who will be able to critique the result. So, if you’re a CIO, or know a CIO, and would be willing to read the existing documentation and provide feedback, would you please let me know. We’d like to try to do this through e-mail but we can organise a call if that will be useful. Thanks. Don

UA Ambassador Sought - with Geeky credentials
by Don Hollander Dec. 17, 2015

Dec. 17, 2015

We’ve had the following request from Lars Steffen from eco: "I am contacting you because Jean-Jacques and I are exchanging thoughts on joint activities of ICANN and eco in 2016. One of the events we are discussing about is the Customer Summit of the Certified Senders Alliance (https://certified-senders.eu/) I am responsible for the Names & Numbers Forum working group at eco (https://numbers.eco.de/international.html) lead by Thomas Rickert. The Certified Senders Alliance is a joint project by eco – association of the Internet industry (https://international.eco.de<https://international.eco.de/>) and German Dialogue Marketing Association (DDV, https://www.ddv.de<https://www.ddv.de/>). The summit addresses the technical email community at E-Mail Service Providers and Internet Service Providers. Attached to this email you find a briefing paper for the event. From my point of view it is a perfect target audience to address Universal Acceptance. Jean-Jacques and me already discussed in general that it would make sense that ICANN appears on the agenda for a presentation or – if it may make sense – a workshop. With an “powered by ICANN” contribution we could give that topic the value we think it deserves. The Summit will take place 21 April 2016 (main event) in Cologne. The whole event will be held in English. Why I am contacting you right now is that Jean-Jacques and I were thinking about who may be the right person for giving a presentation / workshop on UA to mainly email administrators. To make it valuable, a deeper knowledge in technical layers is needed. When it comes to the UASG there are of course several persons who would be a perfect match. But maybe you have additional ideas who would be a good choice, maybe also based in Europe. I would appreciate your feedback on this and say “thank you” in advance for your efforts.” We’re looking for volunteers who might be able/willing to participate. Don

Quick Guides and Definition of UA document
by Mark Svancarek Dec. 16, 2015

Dec. 16, 2015

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D98BC73B22A44C18!110095&authkey=!AFoc… This folder contains some Quick Guides and a UA definition document. These are intended to complement the CIO, IT Pro and Developer detail documents we are already creating. Quick guides are meant to be exactly that - they should not be complex or comprehensive. It's possible that these versions are even *too* complex... I'm eager for your feedback regarding the effectiveness of these documents.
