by Don Hollander Nov. 15, 2016

Nov. 15, 2016

Dear all: There have been some updates to the UA Wiki page over the past couple of days: In the Documents tab, we have added: UASG005 - Quick Guides in Chinese, Arabic and Russian UASG009 - Quick Guide to Tender and Contractual Documents At the bottom of this same page we have also added a Registry of Interests for those in the Coordination Group - so that there is transparency of potential vested interests when we contract out work.

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

[UA-Discuss] Acceptance Tests done for sites
by Dirk Bhagat May 19, 2016

May 19, 2016

Hi All As part of .Club's effort prior to UASG, .club had hand tested around 600 popular sites [mostly from Alexa] for their ability to accept *.club* email addresses. Here is the testing spreadsheet we used: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WIhKvD7mvK7xHyRWGNK1AcDTK7Yhdt69RXu… This spreadsheet breaks the list down into a few categories: -. Free Email providers -. Top Retailers -. Travel -. Email Newsletter Services -. Music Services -. Social Networks Of the 600 sites, roughly 65% were confirmed to have passed, 13% confirmed to have *failed*, and 21% could not be tested for one reason or another. Although there is a lot more work to be done, I believe it's a good starting point. -- Dirk Bhagat CoFounder, CTO .CLUB DOMAINS LLC. 100 SE 3rd Ave, Suite 1310 Fort Lauderdale, Fl, 33394 o: 954.530.2580 m: 416.839.4945 Get.club <http://www.get.club>

Re: [UA-discuss] Introduction to Universal Acceptance / CSA Summit
by Lars Steffen May 11, 2016

May 11, 2016

Hi Don, Thank you and special thanks to Mark and Luisa! I´m already preparing to spread the word via my available channels. Another “Thank you” goes as well to Mark for getting his colleague Terry Zink on stage with Jean-Jacques Sahel and me about Universal Acceptance at the CSA Summit in Cologne. What was going on there you can read here: http://summit.certified-senders.eu/impressions-2016/read-outcome/Universal-… On the website you can also find reports about the other sessions, pics and videos. A video of the UA session including Q&A can be found here: https://youtu.be/IaHDqtF3Emc Follow up outreach to the CSA community for further feedback is also in the pipeline. Just to let you know. Kind regards, Lars Von: ua-discuss-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:ua-discuss-bounces@icann.org] Im Auftrag von Don Hollander Gesendet: Freitag, 6. Mai 2016 19:02 An: UA-discuss(a)icann.org Betreff: [UA-discuss] UASG007 - Introduction to Universal Acceptance - Version 8 Published A quick note to advise that version 8 of the Introduction to Universal Acceptance, the 40 page technical look at UA, has been published. https://community.icann.org/display/TUA/Documents This document aims to be a comprehensive look at the issues around UA with some recommendations of good practice. It’s target audience is the Systems Architects and Developers who have been tasked with getting their applications UA Ready. Many thanks to the authors, Mark & Luisa, and all others who have had a hand in it. The plan is to review the document again toward the end of this year/ beginning of next year, once it’s been ‘in the wild’ for a while to see how it can be improved. Please share it with your own development teams as they work to make your own systems UA Ready. (You do have a team in your organisation working on this, don’t you?) Don
