Thank you, Dr. Data, for your kind words. If the Program Committee accepts the Globalised Email presentation, then I would appreciate the help of the EAI WG leaders. I have some ideas for how we could make it really first-rate. Also, every one of these presentations has materials which can be re-used by others in UASG.

45th Internationalization & Unicode Conference – Call for Participation (deadline 19 March)
by Jim DeLaHunt March 23, 2021

March 23, 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 13-15, 2021, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is next Friday, March 19, 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.

ns records across TLD spaces.
by sivasubramanian muthusamy March 9, 2021

March 9, 2021

While experimenting with the most basic tasks of setting up dns records, I checked the configuration for errors, there are many. In this process, one of warings from this bot is almost commented out: "Since the GTLD for your domain (company) differs from that of your nameservers (com), the result of this test are irrelevant since the parent servers aren't even required to hold the A records for your nameservers." ( Please see the attached image.) Parents servers in one gTLD space are not required to hold the A records (even if the A records happen to be that of nameservers) from a different gTLD space. It is probably not expected also. It might possibly be due to the technical difficulties in distinguishing between the A records and singling out the A records pertaining the name servers. This may not be within the limits of the definition of what constitutes UA, but might mildly and very indirectly contribute to the issue of Universal Acceptance. Would it be of value if there is a Grandparent nameserver? Sivasubramanian M
