Universal Acceptance now on Wikipedia...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Acceptance
by Don Hollander July 9, 2020

July 9, 2020

A nice way to end a fairly productive year. Plans coming up: There will be a Universal Acceptance gathering on Monday the 8th of January in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong IT Community. This is being organised by .asia, ISOC HK and UASG. If you’ve not yet received an invitation but will be in Hong Kong that afternoon, please let me know and we’ll organise one. 15:00 - 18:00 at the Sheraton. The UASG Coordination Group will be meeting on Tuesday the 9th of January and the morning of the 10th if necessary, also in Hong Kong. The agenda will be out next week. Full remote participation will be available if there’s interest. There will be a meeting of EAI operators on the 11th and 12th in Guangzhou, China, hosted by Coremail and CNNIC. If you are an EAI practitioner and would like to participate and have not otherwise registered, please let me know. I expect that we’ll have remote participation facilities. The UASG is expecting another UA Workshop on Day 0 of the ICANN meeting in Puerto Rico as well as a public update session during the week. Dates and venues still to be confirmed. Happy New Year to everyone. If you’re out celebrating, please get home safe. Don Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group www.uasg.tech don.hollander(a)icann.org Skype: don_hollander

Refocusing my priorities
by Roberto Gaetano June 28, 2020

June 28, 2020

Dear Sarmad - and all, I am rethinking my participation to groups, committees, and other activities. My contribution so far to UA has been negligible, mostly because of my lack of knowledge of all the technical aspects, but also because my interest in time has shifted from the UA in the strict sense to a wider area, namely how Internet users at large do not have the same opportunities to connect online. This includes from the physical connection to availability of local content, from the cost of the connection to the language barriers, and more. UA is surely an important factor in allowing worldwide users to get online, but the DNS is not the only one. I will unsubscribe from the UA subgroups, remaining only on this general UA list, in order to remain informed of the progress in this area. Cheers, Roberto

Hello Hope you all are taking care in this pandemic situation and keeping safe. In these difficult time, we have some good news too. It is my pleasure to share that Abdalmonem Galila, UA Ambassador for UASG, has been selected as the first recipient of Tarek Kamel Fellowship Recognition, as announced in an ICANN blog on 11 June 2020. The award recognizes the outstanding contributions of fellows in furthering ICANN's capacity development efforts in their respective regions. Abdalmonem Galila is the Deputy Manager of the .masr (.مصر) IDN ccTLD of Egypt. He is also a member of the Task Force on Arabic Script Internationalized Domain Names (TF-AIDN) that focuses on the secure deployment and ease of use of Arabic IDNs. He is a very active member of the ICANN community, and is currently engaged in the work being done by the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG). In March 2018, he was elected as a UA ambassador, supporting the equal treatment of all domain names.

Re: [UA-discuss] [UA-EAI] WhatWG issue regarding <input type="email"> is open (#4562)
by Andre Schappo June 11, 2020

June 11, 2020

Yes, you are right, it is the same problem except that with Unicode it is hugely more complicated. One could, for instance, state �� A well formed EA consists of ascii characters but not any ascii characters �� A well formed EAI consists of unicode characters but not any unicode characters So, for example: I doubt there is any email system that would allow me to register an EA with a space in the mailbox name eg "andre schappo(a)wherever.com" With an EAI such as "��ɥ졡��å�@�ǩ`��`��.��" it is more complicated because there are several different space characters eg en space, em space, figure space, ideographic space ...etc... Andr�� Schappo ________________________________ From: Arnt Gulbrandsen <arnt(a)gulbrandsen.priv.no> Sent: 09 June 2020 12:49 To: Andre Schappo <A.Schappo(a)lboro.ac.uk> Subject: Re: [UA-EAI] WhatWG issue regarding <input type="email"> is open (#4562) > Well because unicode contains formatting characters, delete, > direction indicators, tags, joiners ...etc... How is this different from the present ASCII page, which allows entering all kinds of characters that aren't a valid email address? Seriously. There are three really common entry fields on the web: "Sign up", "Log in" and "Enter your email address to make us send you some mail". A proposed first step that supports zero of those three is going to go nowhere. Arnt

Good talk on i18n work at W3C, by Richard Ishida
by Jim DeLaHunt June 8, 2020

June 8, 2020

Hello, UA Colleagues: You might be interested in reading or watching this presentation on internationalization activities at the W3C, given by Richard Ishida to their recent AC 2020 conference: <https://www.w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/i18n>. The W3C's Internationalization (i18n) Working Group has similarities to our work in the UASG, in that there is a very broad ocean of problems to address, and very few people to do it, and a need to communicate and intervene wisely. As I read Richard's presentation, I kept having three thoughts: 1. What can we in the UASG learn about methods and tools from what the W3C i18n group is doing well? 2. Are we sure that the we have communicated to the W3C i18n group all of what we believe and recommend, so that the W3C i18n group can, if they agree with us, communicate our recommendations as part of their work? 3. Are we in the UASG hearing the lessons learned by the W3C i18n group from their work? Those are deep questions, and I don't expect rapid answers. However, I think many on this list might find it interesting to read and or watch Richard's presentation, and consider those questions.
