Universal Acceptance is the idea that all domain names and email addresses work in all systems. With the introduction of IDNccTLDs in 2010 and the greater expansion in new gTLDs in 2013, many applications have not kept up to date and need updating. In this session, the UASG (Universal Acceptance Steering Group) will update the GAC with its activities and provide suggestions of how governments can engage their own departments as well as their local software community to make their system UA Ready. ccNSO Session (Support role) Wednesday, 15 March 2017 13:45 – 15:00 Hall C1.2 13:45 15:00 ccTLD News Session chair: Abdalla Omari (.ke) - The development of IDN .vn domain names: Phan Nguyen Ngoc Anh (.vn) - .africa delegation: Lucky Masilela (.za Central Registry) - Promotion Chinese E-mail Address Internationalisation: Ian Chiang (.tw) - Registries from south-eastern Europe: working together: Barbara Povše (.si) - The registry of the future: Cristian Hesselman (.nl) - Q&A and wrap-up by the session chair UASG Public Forum Wednesday, 15 March 2017 17:00 – 18:30 Hall B3 <https://schedule.icann.org/venue/Hall+B3> General Session / Plenary <https://schedule.icann.org/type/general+session+%2F+plenary>, Open Session <https://schedule.icann.org/type/general+session+%2F+plenary/open+session> Adobe Connect https://participate.icann.org/cph58-hallb3 <https://participate.icann.org/cph58-hallb3> English Audio (Low Bitrate) http://stream.icann.org:8000/cph58-hallb3-en-lo.m3u <http://stream.icann.org:8000/cph58-hallb3-en-lo.m3u> English Audio http://stream.icann.org:8000/cph58-hallb3-en.m3u <http://stream.icann.org:8000/cph58-hallb3-en.m3u> 17:00 15 Introduction & Recent Update Ram 17:15 15 Issues Logging Update Seda & Koray 17:30 15 EAI Issues Mark 17:45 15 Comms Work Christian & Lars 18:00 10 UA @ ICANN IT Sigmund 18:10 20 Q&A and General Ram Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group Skype: don_hollander

UA at IUC? [or: Call for Participation Announced! - 41st Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 16-18, 2017]
by Jim DeLaHunt March 13, 2017

March 13, 2017

Hello, colleagues: I'm a big fan of, and regular participant in, the annual Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC), brought to us by the people who brought us Unicode. I imagine that people who are interested in Universal Acceptance are likely to be interested in this conference, and may well have important contributions they could make to it. So, #1, I'd like to make everyone in UASG aware that the IUC has a call for participation. The deadline for proposals is Friday, 24. March, 2017. Please consider proposing a talk if you have something that the IUC audience would benefit from. And, #2, I don't recall there being a proper presentation of the UASG activity at the IUC conference. (Dave Crocker gave a 5-minute "lightning talk" about Universal Acceptance and the UASG, but that was barely enough time to say that it existed.) I would like to see a proposal about the Universal Acceptance Initiative submitted to the conference this year. If someone is already working on this, I would like to talk to you off-list and see if it makes sense to work together. If there is no existing effort, I would like to start one. I welcome collaboration. I will see to it that a proposal gets submitted.

APrIGF Workshop: "Universal Acceptance: An Elixir to Inclusive and Multilingual Internet" - Invitation to participate as speaker in APrIGF 2017
by Harish Chowdhary March 12, 2017

March 12, 2017

Dear,I have proposed a workshop titled "Universal Acceptance: An Elixir to Inclusive and Multilingual Internet" to present at APrIGF scheduled on 26-29 July 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand.2.            Our open discussions/workshop  will primarily focus the issues of Implementation of Universal Acceptance via Multilingual Internet through IDN's (Internationalized Domain Names) and E-mail Address Internationalization so that we may connect remaining 57% population of the world to the internet in their local/Native language.3.            Many communities are actively and independently working to realize various components of multilingual internet viz. Support for local languages on various browsers and operating systems, partial support on email clients and servers, availability of software keypads and fonts for local languages, availability of some web content in loca l languages (though not significant), translation option from English to some of the local languages etc. However, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed.4.            We anticipate the open forum to be organized with the experts discussing the following issues "Interoperability issues of internationalized e-mail addresses viz.e-mail Addresses in local Languages". Universal acceptance of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) Another most important issues is lack of Awareness, about the availability of IDNs and EAI (E-mail Address internationalization), many language tools, like fonts and virtual keypads, lack of standardization.5.         It is an effort to bring all the stakeholders to a forum to solve issues related to Universal acceptance.6.         The Internet community in the Asia Pacific needs to play an important role to help in this multi-stakeholder effort given that over 50% of all languages of the world are spoken and used in the region. Establishing a platform and/or forum might be a suitable first step to develop awareness and collect information to deal with all the issues each community has in relation to using and accessing IEAs (Internationalized e-mail addresses) and IDNs.7.         I kindly request you to confirm your availability as speaker for the proposed workshop by 14th March 2017.8.         Awaiting your confirmation at the earliest.You may send the confirmation mail to harish(a)nixi.in9.        Please suggest more speakers who are going to attend APrIGF and want to contribute in the workshop as confirmed speaker. Thanks,Harish Chowdhary,National Internet Exchange of Indiaharish(a)nixi.in  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [NIXI is on Social-Media too.

Please consider proposing a talk if you have something that the IUC audience would benefit from . And, #2, I don`t recall there being a proper presentation of the UASG activity at the IUC conference. (Dave Crocker gave a 5-minute "lightning talk" about Universal Acceptance and the UASG, but that was barely enough time to say that it existed.) I would like to see a proposal about the Universal Acceptance Initiative submitted to the conference this year. If someone is already working on this, I would like to talk to you off-list and see if it makes sense to work together. If there is no existing effort, I would like to start one. I welcome collaboration. I will see to it that a proposal gets submitted .
