by Ajay Data March 13, 2018

March 13, 2018

Hello Friends, In UASG workshop today, we had a detailed recap and discussion on UA + EAI issues. During discussion, we agreed the following points to be discussed further and need resolution… 1. Sender ID as xn--anything in local part. If email server receives an email FROM xn--anything@validdomain , should email server at receiving end Do.. a. the conversion of xn--anything to UTF8 string. b. Leave it the way it was received i.e xn-anything 2. Is Mixing of scripts is allowed in mailbox local part While creating a mailbox like.. a. scripta@scriptbdomain - ajay <mailto:ajay@???????.????> @ਡਾਟਾਮੇਲ.ਭਾਰਤ b. scripta+scriptc@scriptbdomain ajayअजय(a)xn--n9bd4bq1db8d.xn--s9brj9c <mailto:?????@???????.????> 3. Alias ID on MUA: We already agreed that Downgrading of Alias is good practice and to be followed by email servers while communicating with legacy systems , however we have not discussed how Alias will be made available on MUA and if there are many Alias, than which will be used for downgrading. Lets discuss. Thanks. Ajay.

Fwd: Re: base1024 encoding using Unicode emojis

We generally think of emoji as a poor choice for reliable identifiers. Which makes this discussion on the public unicode mailing list somewhat interesting.

What I'm afraid is that even if emoji are designed with distinctiveness in mind, some people may have difficulties distinguish all the various face variants. Also, while emoji get designed so that in-font distinguishability is high, the same may not apply across fonts (e.g. if one has to compare a printed version with a version on-screen).

launching a .Brand document
by Mark Svancarek March 11, 2018

March 11, 2018

Neustar has made this document available. At UASG workshop today, we pondered whether a generic document with similar content, but focused on UA-compliance and stripped of anything specific to any particular services provider, might be valuable for outreach. Please download and share your opinion. https://www.launchguide.neustar/

Email addresses and domain names are NON-latin! Now what? (IUC41 tutorial)
by Jim DeLaHunt March 8, 2018

March 8, 2018

UA Colleagues: I'm about to try for the prize of "most late conference report back ever". Last October, I taught a tutorial on Universal Acceptance, at the 41st Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC41) in Santa Clara, California. For some reason I didn't get around to posting a link to my slides here. Then, the Call for Participation for IUC42 gave me a nudge, and here I am. The tutorial was, "Email addresses and domain names are NON-latin! Now what?" The target audience was people who were involved in internet domain-related business, who were familiar with domain names and email addresses as ASCII-only, but who weren't familiar with Universal Acceptance, or Internationalized Domain Names, or Email Address Internationalization. It had the goal of giving them enough knowledge to be able to understand the presentations in the regular part of the conference which followed. As a tutorial, I had 2-3 hours of content, instead of the usual 30-50 minute time budget of a presentation. Description of the content: <http://blog.jdlh.com/en/2018/02/28/universal-acceptance-tutorial-iuc41/> (as blog post) Direct link to the slides: <http://go.jdlh.com/iuc41t4t1> (PDF, 8.3MB). Comments welcome, either direct to me or on this list or on the blog post. Overall, I think the tutorial went well. The evaluation scores were positive. I think the content is very relevant to the Internationalization and Unicode Conference audience. It could also be adapted for other audiences. I am proposing this same tutorial for this year's conference, IUC42.
