Re: [UA-discuss] RETWEET REQUEST: IDN/UA Blog
by Nitin Walia Jan. 10, 2019

Jan. 10, 2019

Dear Tex Great suggestions..few of them are easily achievable at registry level, if a registry is comfortable to gift those domain names we will be happy to extend support for hosting and giving a free email address on those celebrity IDN domains for any countries/languages so that domain become usable and user can experience EAI. I do agree with your viewpoint that UASG might get more attention to the resources it offers if it had a slogan that was memorable and included on all our announcements, perhaps along with a nice image. I also agree and believe that UASG website needs a makeover and must be made more interactieve along with informative. Warm Regards Nitin WaliaDirectorData Xgen Technologies Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message --------From: Tex <textexin(a)xencraft.com> Date: 10/01/2019 02:19 (GMT+05:30) To: 'Gwen Carlson' <gwen.carlson(a)icann.org>, UA-discuss(a)icann.org Cc: "'@UASG Team'" <UASGTeam(a)edelman.com> Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] RETWEET REQUEST: IDN/UA Blog Gwen,Thanks for the notice. Also thanks to Jian-Chuan Zhang for writing the article. As an activity report, the blog is fine. However, for the purpose of evangelism and as something that I might promote on social media, it is a bit of a nothing burger. A few suggestions: There should be a few examples of Chinese domains. Perhaps a mention of the number of languages used in China and some points as to how this makes the net more accessible to Chinese speakers that do not speak English or for whom ASCII characters are unfamiliar and confusing.Also a mention of the benefit to Chinese organizations extending their reach and enhancing their brand. Is there a Chinese celebrity that has a Chinese domain name? If not we should encourage one or even “gift” one to whoever the Chinese Kardashian is (or a Xi Jinping domain to get the attention and support of the government…)Perhaps we should encourage celebrity domains for several countries/languages…. Will the blog be available in Chinese? I didn’t see a language selector on the page. A group looking to expand language support should have multilingual announcements. To get attention on twitter, it helps if the article had an attention drawing caption. We compete for mindshare against all the “I broke the internet headings”. At least something less dry like “Chinese domain names go on the road”.Or “China making the internet Chinese” which might get media attention. UASG might get more attention to the resources it offers if it had a slogan that was memorable and included on all our announcements, perhaps along with a nice image. " Universal Acceptance Steering Group” and UASG are not that memorable and so harder for people to search for when they want or need our information and resources.Something like “making the net speak everyone’s language”, “an internet for everyone”, “Our domain is the world”….Needs work but you get the idea. As evangelists we should be using messaging that stimulates interest. The ICANN blog might not be the place for a marketing piece, but the UASG site could host a more promotional piece.I hope that helps.

uasg.tech
by Tex Jan. 9, 2019

Jan. 9, 2019

I didn’t see my last email commenting on Gwen’s promotion come back to me from the list, so I wonder if it went out. Don, maybe you can let me know if you saw it. Separately, I can’t find a reference to this e-mail list on the uasg.tech web site. Perhaps it should be mentioned so people interested in promoting UA might join the group. Also, I was surprised to see a shop menu item. The item takes you off the site without a warning that you are leaving the uasg.tech domain. I don’t think that is a good practice. Also, I am not sure that the clothing items offered help our evangelism more than merchandising undermines our credibility. I don’t recall it being discussed by the group. Tex

Here is what I consider to be an impressive Serbian site: https://рнидс.срб<https://xn--d1aholi.xn--90a3ac> This site has the pathname in the current language/script. If you navigate round the site and change language/script you will see what I mean. eg Serbian (Cyrillic Script): https://рнидс.срб/организација/комисија-за-разматрање-примедби<https://xn--d1aholi.xn--90a3ac/%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B7%D…> Serbian (Latin Script): https://рнидс.срб/lat/organizacija/komisija-za-razmatranje-primedbi<https://xn--d1aholi.xn--90a3ac/lat/organizacija/komisija-za-razmatranje-pri…> English: https://рнидс.срб/en/organisation/complaints-committee<https://xn--d1aholi.xn--90a3ac/en/organisation/complaints-committee> André Schappo
