Survey on future directions for Internationalization & Unicode Conference
by Jim DeLaHunt March 10, 2022

March 10, 2022

Universal Acceptance colleagues: [and two Unicode Consortium staff via bcc:] I came into the Universal Acceptance Steering Group thanks to a brief presentation on UA which someone made to the annual Internationalisation and Unicode Conference (IUC, https://www.unicodeconference.org/) some years ago. For the last few years, I have presented on Universal Acceptance topics to the IUC. I believe there are common interests between the IUC's people and topics, and the UASG's people and topics. So far the actual overlap is rather narrow, as measured by people active in both communities, but I see potential. The Unicode Consortium staff are taking an opportunity to rethink the future direction of the Internationalization and Unicode Conference. They invited people on a Unicode mailing list to fill out surveys about it. They are kindly allowing me to forward this invitation to the UA-discuss list. If any of you are interested in the future direction of the IUC, please feel free to follow the link and fill out the survey. It is a chance for the Unicode folks to gather some data on how broad the overlap with Universal Acceptance actually is. N.B. there are actually two surveys, for two audiences. For most UA people, I think the "Survey for those who have yet to attend <https://forms.gle/xTbAppFG4jQqxzpm6>" is more appropriate.
