Why should a company adopt IDN
by Ashish Modi Aug. 20, 2018

Aug. 20, 2018

Dear UASG Team,A CEO of one of the largest Company of India is asking me to give him three compelling reason on "Why Should he Adopt IDNs" while it create difficulties in marketing, communicating, handling and promoting different domains to his clients. I have made probable answers to this, let me know if you wanna add some points to it.A) Adopting IDNs will open the door to an extra US$10 Billion Economic Activity by capturing the large size of market who doesn`t know English in India (which he would not like to miss)B) Deliver a better User Experience (UX), resulting in better customer satisfaction and retentionC) Increase in Indian Languages on Internet is the proof that future is Vernacular and you need to be UA ready in order to accept communication from your clients who are sending emails using IDNs. Look forward for your views on this.Regards,Ashish [XGENFOOTER] [-XGENFOOTER] Do not Remove: [HID]20180809153926965[-HID]

Here is some Microsoft specific information. It’s not exactly what you are requesting. If you find it is interesting, please feel free to use. Microsoft currently holds 645 IDNs. These IDNs are managed by several separate teams: some are international subsidiaries, others are administrative or products/services. Japan, China and Russia teams each have dozens of IDNs. My team holds 8 solely for managing IDN and EAI. /marksv From: UA-EAI <ua-eai-bounces(a)icann.org> On Behalf Of Ashish Modi Sent: Monday, August 20, 2018 04:48 To: ua-discuss(a)icann.org; ua-eai(a)icann.org Subject: Re: [UA-EAI] Need UA Status /Update Globally Hello Team, In continuation to my previous email mention below, please spare some time to send me the updates from your region in relation to UASG, IDN and EAI.

Re: [UA-discuss] Serbia Proposes Law Changes to Halt Cyrillic’s Decline
by Dr Ajay Data Aug. 17, 2018

Aug. 17, 2018

I just wonder how they create content for websites, so many websites have Cyrillic content. BTW, SMS in Unicode has different character count mechanism and same situation is in India too as it take more space to store and send. Typically 160 characters of ASCII are counted as one SMS, if you send more than 160 characters upto 320, you will be charged for two SMS. Because Unicode characters can take upto 4 bytes for one characters, it gets expensive. However it is loosing its relevance as people send messages more on Whatsapp, Skype, Facebook etc. Just to share in India, As per the new mandate, all mobile phones in the country will have to provide text reading support in all Indian languages on their devices. The standard mandates mobile phone companies to provide message typing facility in English, Hindi and a regional language of their users choice . @dusan , if you can mention the issues in using Cyrillic on computer on phone, that will be helpful. As we know that atleast on iphone and android we have full support of Cyrillic. Thanks.

As I am from Serbia, I can say that this topic reach domestic headlines because of the summer time with lack of more &ldquoimportant&rdquo news. Still, it brings Cyrillic script into focus and highlighted some problems considering usage of Cyrillic in one small country . There is no mentioning of IDNs, because of several reasons. Firstly, Serbian registry, for a long time, doesn&rsquot want to promote national IDN TLD, and the situation is more-less equal in all small non-Latin countries with IDN TLD. The number of domain names in IDNs is like a statistical error and it brings no business to registries, registrars&hellip Simply, situation is> there is no (big) demand. It&rsquos the same in countries which use Latin script with diacritics, number of IDNs on SLD is small . Only in big non-Latin countries (China, Russia, India&hellip) you can find significant number of IDN domain names. Patrick F&aumlltstr&oumlm and me, we were talking in Tbilisi about the reasons behind that, during EuroDIG&rsquos IDN session. I can say that the problem is not pure technical, but rather a mix: lack of usage of non-Latin script in real life (mentioned in article, Serbs knows Latin, and we use this script like our own, and situation is similar in small non-Latin countries &ndash Georgia, Armenia, name it), and lack of natural and comfortable usage of those scripts on computers (f.e. there is no Cyrillic keyboards on laptops and for computers in Serbia if you type SMS on Cyrillic you pay more default settings on new mobile devices is Latin script for all apps, and you get mix of scripts if you change to non-Latin &hellip etc). IDNs can be just added in brackets, but certainly not as a major topic&hellip People, they usually go down the line of lower resistance&hellip Cheers, Dusan Stojicevic From: UA-discuss [mailto:ua-discuss-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mark Svancarek (CELA) via UA-discuss Sent: Friday, August 10, 2018 6:24 PM To: Universal Acceptance ua-discuss(a)icann.org> Subject: [UA-discuss] Serbia Proposes Law Changes to Halt Cyrillic&rsquos Decline http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/serbia-proposes-law-changes-to-halt… No mention if IDNs, though .

Re: [UA-discuss] Email from new domains going to Junk (was: Requesting a contact from outlook/hotmail)
by Mark Svancarek (CELA) Aug. 15, 2018

Aug. 15, 2018

Here is the info I received back from the engineering team. They are happy to look at more failure cases if you have them. This message in particular did not have the sender as safe-sender (but if you have instances where safesender does not work, please forward them to me) and was junked by the content filter. The IP reputation for this range is not bad, and most content/communication should work fine (junk rate on the 162.210.70.55/30 registered to Directi in our systems is about 10%). I provided a mitigation and junking should stop in less than one hour. Regarding the newer TLDs, the % legitimate traffic registering them is microscopic. I’ve been told by a spammer that periodically domains in these TLDs are available for sale in bulk for cents and therefore very much loved by spammers (.bid, .club as well). Haven’t seen international TLDs abused yet in spam. Towards outlook.com we don’t have a deterministic rule to penalize these TLDs but it could be content filter ML is downgrading them (statistically for the filter it makes sense). O365 inbound and I am sure other providers do have rules that increase the spam scoring of these TLDs or do more scrutiny. /marksv From: Mark Svancarek (CELA) Sent: Wednesday, August 1, 2018 12:14 To: Subject: Email from new domains going to Junk (was: [UA-discuss] Requesting a contact from outlook/hotmail) Sorry for spam, please forward as appropriate.

This is a conversation from our mailing list.
