GDD Summit , 17-19May Amsterdam
by Maxim Alzoba March 4, 2016

March 4, 2016

Hello Everyone, Just to let you know During the initial conversation with the GDD Staff about agenda of the GDD Summit https://www.icann.org/gddsummit (event where most active registries & registrars are expected to either show up or to participate remotely) I suggested that Universal Acceptance should be in the agenda, and the idea was supported. I expect to have more info in Marrakech by the end of the ICANN meeting , where we are to have f2f meeting with GDD staff and most probably, the topic is going to be there. P.s: will share if it happens. Sincerely Yours, Maxim Alzoba Special projects manager, International Relations Department, FAITID m. +7 916 6761580 skype oldfrogger Current UTC offset: +3.00 (Moscow)

UA @ ICANN Marrakech
by Don Hollander March 4, 2016

March 4, 2016

Dear all: Below find the current version of the UA Week in Marrakech. The focus of UA activities will be around: 1) Letting the community know that we’ve made progress and that we’re now starting the outreach efforts in earnest, accelerating markedly in the next financial year. 2) That the documents are available for use within their own organisation and their own communities - technology, geographic, industry… 3) Continuing the review of the "Introduction to Universal Acceptance” document We’ll continue our recruitment efforts to broaden the perspectives. Would you please let me know if there are topics you would like to see covered on the Sunday Morning workshop in particular. And if there’s individuals or groups that would benefit from a bit of more intimate discussion, let me know that too.

by Don Hollander March 1, 2016

March 1, 2016

Dear all: We have a scheduled joint meeting on Monday with the Task Force on Arabic IDNs. They have asked for an indication of numbers. So, would you please let me know (off list to reduce traffic) if you’re planning on attending. Personally, I think it will be most interesting as the Arabic scripts provide interesting efforts.
