by Dr Ajay Data Sept. 13, 2023

Sept. 13, 2023

Big development During G20 summit happening in India which was attended by 20 president/prime minister's of different countries including US, UK, UAE, Germany, Japan etc , Question was raised to all countries- Why Internet domain name should only be in English ?, when not more than 25 percent population speaks English . G20 is VERY IMPORTANT body to raise awareness and hopefully countries will take UA and Multilingual Internet issue more seriously. Thank you ICANN for giving us IDNs and UASG. Hopefully everyone in UASG and ICANN, UA local initiatives, ambassadors and leaders will address this issue in there respective country and use this hook as an opportunity to tell importance of UA. I continue to do my bit. Best wishes. Ajay Data -- Sent from my Android device with XGen Email.

Universal acceptance status of directory-based identity-related services?
by Vadim Mikhaylov July 7, 2023

July 7, 2023

Dear colleagues, During the conversation with our developers we found out that sometimes one of the key stones of an information system software stack could be directory-based identity-related services, like MS Active Directory, FreeIPA, Samba etc... My apologize in advance if I've missed something in uasg.tech documents, but did someone made any researches about universal acceptance level of mentioned above software or maybe another directory-based identity-related service? Thank you in advance for response, I would really appreciate any information around the topic. Best, Vadim. -- Respectfully, Vadim A.
