Thunderbird Email Client
by Jothan Frakes Feb. 11, 2015

Feb. 11, 2015

On the Mozilla front, I have been reaching out within the pool of developers that I know there on browser, OS, Mobile, and email clients. With respect to email, I suspect we're not going to be able to count on Mozilla Thunderbird - the project has undergone some significant reductions in resourcing and staffing over the past 3-4 years, and it does not appear that there is a way to get improved support into the client. There is a volunteer-only community effort to release an update in mid second quarter, but IDN is not on the list of proposed improvements. http://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2014/11/thunderbird-reorganizes-at-2014… Jothan Frakes Tel: +1.206-355-0230

UASG Meeting reminder: 1-1:30PM tomorrow, Thursday February 12th SGT (UTC +8)
by Christian Dawson Feb. 11, 2015

Feb. 11, 2015

A reminder that we will have a quick UASG next-steps meet-up 1-1:30PM tomorrow, Thursday February 12th SGT (UTC +8) outside of Padang for in-person attendees. As this is an impromptu meeting focused mainly on outreach and answering questions to newcomers to the effort, we aren’t prepared to do remote participation at this time. Perhaps we can decide at that meeting who we want to take the mic during the public forum on this subject. All the best, Christian Dawson Chairman & Co-founder Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2C) c: 703 623 2612 http://i2coalition.com <http://i2coalition.com/>

Notes from the Aftermatch function
by Don Hollander Feb. 10, 2015

Feb. 10, 2015

Francisco: Some notes from the after match function that you had to miss after the UA Session yesterday. 1) It was agreed that the letter should be sent out to various ICANN constituencies with an explicit call to participate and a link to the mailing list subscription page included. 2) The session on Thursday will be an outreach session for people who want to engage. Please note that I will not be there. 3) I have prepared a first draft for an agenda for the conference call schedule for next week. That has been distributed to the UA list. So, tasks for you include: 1) Getting the letter out to the ICANN constituencies 2) Getting an Adobe Connect session scheduled as presented by Christian. (It will be useful to have an experienced admin person (or two) to help manage the call). We will aim for a 60 minute call but reserve up to 90 minutes. Don

Re: [UA-discuss] The letter

Christian and colleagues, Please see attached with suggested edits. Also, you may want to consider to whom this letter should be directed, e.g., the ICANN Board. Once it is sent to us we can publish it in the correspondence, which would make it publicly accessible. Regards, -- Francisco.

by Don Hollander Feb. 9, 2015

Feb. 9, 2015

Please find below (and attached) a first draft agenda for the first conference call. You’ll see that the agenda times out to one hour, but I would suggest people be available for an additional 30 minutes in case things run a bit long. Agenda – UASG Call – date This first call of a UASG (Universal Access Steering Group) will be used to welcome new participants into the group and identify a structure for the group that will allow full and active participation for all who want to participate. Please note some key conference call etiquette: 1) Keep your microphone muted unless your talking 2) Place your call from a quite place – ie not next to the fire station 3) Speak Slowly and Clearly and don’t be too clever with your language– not everyone is a native English speaker and some people have old ears. 4) Identify yourself when you are speaking Instructions for connecting to the call will go here Welcome 0:05 – Purpose of the UASG and Purpose of this meeting Introductions 0:05 – Round the Table – name, affiliation, area of interest Report on results from the instigating meeting held in January in Washington, DC - Issues and relative ranking - Players and relative rankings for effectiveness and ease of engagement - Other 0:15 Options for Structure of the Steering Group and ideas for sub-group topics 0:15 Things we might spend money on 0:15 Summary and next steps 0:05
