Universal Acceptance now on Wikipedia...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Acceptance
by Don Hollander July 9, 2020

July 9, 2020

A nice way to end a fairly productive year. Plans coming up: There will be a Universal Acceptance gathering on Monday the 8th of January in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong IT Community. This is being organised by .asia, ISOC HK and UASG. If you’ve not yet received an invitation but will be in Hong Kong that afternoon, please let me know and we’ll organise one. 15:00 - 18:00 at the Sheraton. The UASG Coordination Group will be meeting on Tuesday the 9th of January and the morning of the 10th if necessary, also in Hong Kong. The agenda will be out next week. Full remote participation will be available if there’s interest. There will be a meeting of EAI operators on the 11th and 12th in Guangzhou, China, hosted by Coremail and CNNIC. If you are an EAI practitioner and would like to participate and have not otherwise registered, please let me know. I expect that we’ll have remote participation facilities. The UASG is expecting another UA Workshop on Day 0 of the ICANN meeting in Puerto Rico as well as a public update session during the week. Dates and venues still to be confirmed. Happy New Year to everyone. If you’re out celebrating, please get home safe. Don Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group www.uasg.tech don.hollander(a)icann.org Skype: don_hollander

Hi Sarmad ICANN Board approved their contribution to the UASG’s efforts for the Financial Year beginning July 1. UASG constantly publish its business plan and budget prepared at the end of the last calendar year. Preceding update via UASG Secretary was for FY-2018-19 budget and that is only available on uasg.tech website. https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Budget-FY-2018-19-17-11-15.pdf Regrettably till end of Q2 of this financial year there is NO update to UASG community for FY-2019-20 budget?

Ideas for engagement with stakeholders in Germany
by Mark W. Datysgeld Dec. 7, 2019

Dec. 7, 2019

Hello everyone, I exchanged a few messages with Lars earlier this year, and would like to present below some points he raised that should be useful both for the IGF next week and looking towards ICANN meeting C next year, being tailored towards German stakeholders. In my view, we can aim to always try gathering such regional insights moving forward to optimize our engagement. *Special characters:* Eszett (ß) and Umlaut (ü) have fallback options by default: * Eszett becomes "ss". * Capital Eszett (ẞ) has only recently been introduced officially to the language, meaning that anything in capital letters used to be written using "SS" even on the press. * Umlaut characters (ä, ö, ü) become "ae", "oe", "ue". *gTLDs* * Fallback: the popular cityTLD for "Köln" is run under ".koeln" and ".cologne" to avoid the Umlaut. * ".berlin" is a popular gTLD and is in active use for varied purposes, including local businesses. * Other relevant gTLDs: ".hamburg", ".bayern", ".ruhr", ".nrw" and ".saarland". Hopefully this can help us engage better. Safe journeys to all of those traveling to the IGF! Regards, -- Mark W. Datysgeld from Governance Primer [www.markwd.website] In partnership with AR-TARC and the Brazilian Association of Software Companies (ABES)
