[FYI] Call for Participation Announced! - 42nd Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - September 10-12, 2018
by Jim DeLaHunt Jan. 26, 2018

Jan. 26, 2018

Hello all, I think the Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC42) is a very good audience for Universal Acceptance messages. I encourage people to consider proposing talks or tutorials for this conference. The conference is 10-12 September, 2018, in Santa Clara, California, USA. The deadline to submit proposals is 9 March, 2018. Last year they let me do a tutorial on Universal Acceptance (domain names and email addresses) in general. It went well, and I intend to propose that again. Also, last year they let me do a presentation on "Universal Acceptance of non-Latin email addresses and domain names: how does your framework rate?", based on this group's UASG0018 note. I think I want to propose something about current UA activity, but updated from the 2017 content. There is a lot of good UA activity going on, much of it by people in this group. I would be pleased to see multiple proposals on UA-related topics submitted to IUC42. It won't all get accepted, but probably more strong proposals will lead to more good content getting accepted. More information on the conference, and submission process, is at <http://www.unicodeconference.org/call-for-participation.htm>.

Open source library for punycode handling
by Mark Svancarek Jan. 26, 2018

Jan. 26, 2018

My Office for Macintosh developer just reached out to inform me that the development platform he is using doesn't have a built-in punycode converter function. He is evaluating open source. Do we have any recos for him? (We will of course report back to the community once we have selected a library and implemented.) Thanks.

Draft Report - Linkification
by Don Hollander Jan. 25, 2018

Jan. 25, 2018

Dear all: Last year we commissioned a review of the linkification efforts for the most popular social media applications. We tested to see how email addresses and domain names were linked (or not) The attached draft report is the result of this effort. I would welcome very much your comments, suggestions, corrections around this report before the beginning of February. At that point, we will circulate it for comment with the social media organisations that we know and take their comments on board too. I hope to publish this before the ICANN meeting. Please remember, this is a DRAFT. Kind regards, Don Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group www.uasg.tech don.hollander(a)icann.org Skype: don_hollander

by Don Hollander Jan. 19, 2018

Jan. 19, 2018

I found this somewhat interesting. Most of you will know this stuff already. But what was particularly interesting was that a) they accepted my EAI Address and b) my mail client (apple mail) displayed it correctly) NB: In the header just below, it shows as Punycode, but when I looked at the message itself it showed as Unicode!!!
