Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020
by Jim DeLaHunt March 9, 2021

March 9, 2021

Hello, UA Colleagues: I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place this October 14-16, 2020, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is this Friday, March 6, in the UTC-8 timezone. Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference. For those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The Unicode Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text rendering, and beyond that into software engineering aspects of internationalisation and localisation. About 100% of the audience are solidly in favour of the values and goals of Universal Acceptance. However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be absent from this conference. If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them. Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada -------- Forwarded Message -------- Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 16:29:05 -0500 Message-Id: <202002202129.01KLT5NP015843(a)aquamarine.omg.org> From: Unicode Conference <programs(a)unicodeconference.org> Subject: Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020 IUC 44 Conference To see this message in your browser click *here <https://www.unicodeconference.org/e-marketing/IUC44-CfPReminder-02-20-20.htm>* Internationalization & Unicode Conference 44.

by Dmitry Belyavsky Oct. 11, 2020

Oct. 11, 2020

Dear colleagues, Here is the updated version of the draft describing the usage of the Internationalized Email Addresses (EAI) in the EPP protocol. This version provides a specification to submit EAI to the registries via the EPP protocol extension. Any feedback is welcomed! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <internet-drafts(a)ietf.org> Date: Sun, Oct 11, 2020 at 2:35 PM Subject: New Version Notification for draft-belyavskiy-epp-eai-01.txt To: Dmitry Belyavskiy <beldmit(a)gmail.com> A new version of I-D, draft-belyavskiy-epp-eai-01.txt has been successfully submitted by Dmitry Belyavskiy and posted to the IETF repository.

The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), being developed before appearing the standards for Internationalized Email Addresses (EAI), does not support such email addressed. This document describes an EPP extension that allows EAI addresses to be used in contact mapping in the EPP protocol.

Using EAI in the EPP protocol
by Dmitry Belyavsky Oct. 9, 2020

Oct. 9, 2020

Dear colleagues, I've just submitted a specification allowing usage of EAI in the EPP protocol to the IETF regext working group. If there is any interest in this work, it's worth subscribing the regext mailing list (https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext) and explicitly supporting the work on the document. Many thanks! -- SY, Dmitry Belyavsky

Re: [UA-discuss] [UA-EAI] [UA-Tech] Using EAI in the EPP protocol
by Dmitry Belyavsky Oct. 9, 2020

Oct. 9, 2020

Dear Nicolas, I'm not familiar with using EPP out of domain registration scope. If it is more or less common EPP, the extension will fit these purposes too. BTW, for domains, we have RDAP supporting various internationalized data. Not sure what do we have for access to regional and subregional registries data. Whois will not work for EAI.
