CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: EURid IDNA2008 Survey
by Lars Steffen Oct. 29, 2021

Oct. 29, 2021

Dear all, Our colleagues at EURid are conducting a survey on IDNA2008 and are asking for your input. EURid, the registry manager of the .eu, .ею and .ευ, is working to ensure that emails based on Internationalised Domain Names are fully supported across email platforms, browsers and any other online resource. The so-called Email Address Internationalization, EAI, (i.e. unicode@IDN) experiences several failures when tested. Some of the failures suggest that the IDNA 2008 protocol has not been widely adopted. With this survey, EURid would like to investigate the implementation of the IDNA 2008 protocol as well as the customer demand of EAI mail-service with the ultimate objective of working with the all DNS community to find appropriate solutions. Please participate in the survey: https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90396381/EURid-IDNA2008-Survey This survey is open until 15 November 2021. Kind regards, Lars

article of a site owner's experience with gTLD (xyz)
by Joseph Yee Oct. 6, 2021

Oct. 6, 2021

Hi, Just bump into this article of a site owner's experience with gTLD (he uses .xyz) which I think many of you may find interesting. https://www.spotvirtual.com/blog/the-perils-of-an-xyz-domain/ Lots of what he experienced was discussed in the UA group already. And recently, I learned that someone tried to purchase a certificate of a domain where the TLD was delegated recently and the vendor can't sell as the TLD is not available. Best, Joseph

Looking for a tutorial for Korean EAI enabled mail server setup guide
by Byun, Kyuhong (변규홍) Oct. 4, 2021

Oct. 4, 2021

Hello, members of ua-discuss mailing list. I'm Byun, Kyuhong(변규홍) who just came from Ms. Pitinan Kooarmonpatana and many other speaker's excellent tutorial about EAI at recent KrIGF 2021[1]. In South Korea, the country where I live, we have a national holiday named after Korean language's script system, Hangul(Hangeul, 한글, I'm not so sure about the welcomed terminology in this mailing list). It is the 9th of October. Along with the experience of recent KrIGF session, I'm wondering if I could set up a mail server whose domain name is written in Korean (한글날.한국) and whose mailbox is also written in Korean(like 변규홍(a)xn--bj0bv3c9z6c.xn--3e0b707e) UASG30[2] led me to try `Roundcube` and `iRedMail`, but due to the lack of my experiences regarding domain names itself and mail server, I would be grateful if I could find someone else's trail for relevant attempts. p.s. Please do not hesitate to let me know if this is an inappropriate place to raise such a question like this. -- With Regards, Byun, Kyuhong (변규홍) [1]: https://youtu.be/1cBnCxmQfkI?t=5613 [2]: https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/documents/UASG030-en-digital.pdf
