There were no questions during the presentation (which finished just as lunch was served) but there were positive comments immediately afterwards. During other parts of the meeting there was extensive discussion about Universal Awareness and how it was linked to Universal Acceptance. In the end, however, there was no clear and coherent program identified to pursue Universal Awareness. There were, however, several presentations with respect to Universal Awareness where new gTLD operators (and associated parties) were raising awareness of the new gTLDs generally and their own gTLDs specifically in forum OUTSIDE of the DNS Garden. There COULD be opportunities for the UASG to leverage these efforts, particularly where their audiences and our audiences overlap. 5. UA @ ICANN56 Program 6.

Upvote Skype issue
by Dirk Bhagat June 6, 2016

June 6, 2016

Maybe this is not the group to post this, but today I logged an issue on the Skype forum. Skype.com will not allow a user to sign up with a new GTLD email address. https://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-doesn-t-recogni… If I can ask the community to "upvote" this issue so it gets some attention and comment and add your own TLD strings ( for the registries on the list) Also, I would be happy to upvote anyone else's bug report on universal acceptance for any other service provider. Thank you all. -- 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>

Review of UASG 002 - Outreach to Webmasters
by Don Hollander June 6, 2016

June 6, 2016

It’s been nearly six months since we drafted our Outreach to Webmaster text in UASG002. Since that time, the UASG has produced a number of other documents and the http://ua.thedna.org/ has stopped resolving. The UASG also expects to launch our dedicated website shortly Here is the current version: English Dear Website Administrator, I tried to create an account using my email address: xxxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxxx<mailto:xxxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx>. Your site does not recognize it and I’m reaching out to you to please look into and fix this issue. There are thousands of others that are using new web address extensions for email and are also affected. I found more information on new domain names here: <http://ua.thedna.org/> and here: <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/universal-acceptance-2012-02-25-en> https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/universal-acceptance-2012-02-25-en. ---- I would suggest that we alter this to: English Dear Website Administrator, I tried to create an account using my email address: xxxxx(a)xxxxx.xxxxx<mailto:xxxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx>. Your site does not accept it and I’m reaching out to you to please look into and fix this issue. I found more information on new domain names and email addresses at www.uasg.tech<http://www.uasg.tech>. You might find the information there helpful as you work to fix this problem. Thank you. —— I have created an editable version at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DeofaHmtntEgeU1wJPZceiRVUcbaSDMDPMxq18r… I would like to leave this open for edits and comments through the 10th of June. Then, I would welcome very much your help once again to translate this final document into language that you know well. Thanks. Don
