Domainers
by Andre Schappo Dec. 5, 2017

Dec. 5, 2017

Would IDNs even exist today if it was not for Domainers? I suspect that IDNs would have been abandoned long ago if it was not for Domainers. I believe that Domainers are the majority holders of IDNs. The dependency on Domainers is well emphasised in the thread http://www.idnforums.com/forums/35654-number-of-%E3%82%B3%E3%83%A0-registra…<http://www.idnforums.com/forums/35654-number-of-コム-registrations-takes-a-no…> I think the international community should be acknowledging and thanking Domainers for their significant contribution to IDNs.

The .ie ccTLD introduced IDN in .ie recently so that our local ccTLD could finally support the Irish language. You can now register a .ie domain using a fada (the accent) See http://fada.ie/ (disclosure: we run it) Domainers had absolutely nothing to do with that decision. Zero. Nada. While the takeup of IDNs in .ie hasn’t been exactly “huge” it has allowed companies and other organisations whose names included fadas to register their “real” name.

Co-Coordinator - EAI Working Group
by Don Hollander Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

Dear all: We recently received notice from Mark Svancarek that he would like to withdraw from the co-convener role of the EAI Working group but will retain his other role as Vice-Chair of the UASG. Mark takes pain to note that he is not reducing his overall commitment to the UASG nor the EAI Working Group. He is seeking to broaden the participation in the UA Coordination Group. We are now looking for a replacement co-convener (Jiankang Yao is the other co-convener) for the EAI Project group of the UASG. The EAI project group is one of two project groups within the UASG (the other is Community Outreach). From the UASG Charter: Each Project Group will be led by one to two Coordinators, an appointed role by the Steering Group Chair without specific term. Each group will develop budgets (resource, staffing and money) necessary to complete specific projects and develop sourcing strategies. … Project Group leaders should submit a Statement of Interest that is publicly accessible, and lists their affiliations and interests. Project Groups can spawn additional smaller working parties…. If you’re interested in this role, would you please send an email with your expression of interest and explanation why you should be chosen for this role to don.hollander(a)icann.org <mailto:don.hollander@icann.org> by the 30th of November 2017. Interviews will be conducted and a decision is expected shortly after this deadline. The decision is up to the Chair of the UASG. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

"Universal Acceptance of non-Latin email addresses and domain names: how does your framework rate?" (IUC41 presentation)
by Jim DeLaHunt Nov. 27, 2017

Nov. 27, 2017

UA Colleagues: Last month I got to present UASG0018 and UA, at the 41st Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC41) in Santa Clara, California. The talk was, "Universal Acceptance of non-Latin email addresses and domain names: how does your framework rate?". It explains UA, and the library evaluation method of UASG0018. It urges app developers to use UASG0018 to guide their own evaluation of their own libraries for Universal Acceptance. Description of the content: <http://blog.jdlh.com/en/2017/10/31/universal-acceptance-eval-iuc41/> (as blog post) Direct link to the slides: <http://go.jdlh.com/iuc41s10t2> (PDF, 6.3MB). Comments welcome, either direct to me or on this list or on the blog post. I had meant to send this earlier, sorry. I also gave a tutorial introducing Universal Acceptance, and I'll send a link to that in a separate email thread.

I think it is appropriate.
