intervention from Indian delegates
by Edmon Chung March 9, 2016

March 9, 2016

ARVIND GUPTA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. ON BEHALF OF MY DELEGATION, I WANT TO MAKE AN INTERVENTION, I WANT TO MAKE TWO POINTS. EVERY SECOND 3 NEW INDIANS EXPERIENCE THE INTERNET FOR THE FIRST TIME AND MANY OF THEM ARE NOT FLUENT IN ENGLISH AND THE LANGUAGES THEY READ DO NOT USE ROMAN CHARACTERS. THIS IS NOT TRUE ONLY FOR INDIANS BUT FOR A VAST MAJORITY OF THE NEXT BILLION WHO WILL BE COMING ONLINE SOON. FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THERE IS HIGH QUALITY LOCAL LANGUAGE CONTENT AVAILABLE AND THAT THE SERVICES WHICH WE ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED SUCH AS EMAIL WORK SEAMLESSLY. THIS IS POSSIBLE ONLY BY MAKING SURE THAT IDNs ARE ROLLED OUT AND ARE SUPPORTED FULLY BY EVERYONE. IN OTHER WORDS WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IS UNIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE WHICH IS AN AREA WHERE ICANN CAN PLAY AN IMPORTANT FACILITATING ROLE.

Arabic script email being displayed as Chinese
by Andre Schappo March 8, 2016

March 8, 2016

During the ICANN55 UA Sunday session, the use of EAI was demonstrated live. There was one or more instances where the Arabic email address was incorrectly being displayed as a string of Chinese characters. Here is a possible explanation - So lets take the Arabic email being used which was مارك(a)xn--wgbe5cxa.xn--mgberp4a5d4ar This email string in utf8 encoding is d9 85 d8 a7 d8 b1 d9 83 40 d8 b1 d8 b3 d9 8a d9 84 2e d8 a7 d9 84 d8 b3 d8 b9 d9 88 d8 af d9 8a d8 a9 If this utf8 encoded email string is then incorrectly treated as GB18030 encoded we would get displayed 賲丕乇賰@乇爻賷 During the live demo I did not have time to determine which Chinese characters were displayed. So, Mark, could you please check whether or not these are the Chinese characters that were displayed André Schappo

GDD Summit , 17-19May Amsterdam
by Maxim Alzoba March 4, 2016

March 4, 2016

Hello Everyone, Just to let you know During the initial conversation with the GDD Staff about agenda of the GDD Summit https://www.icann.org/gddsummit (event where most active registries & registrars are expected to either show up or to participate remotely) I suggested that Universal Acceptance should be in the agenda, and the idea was supported. I expect to have more info in Marrakech by the end of the ICANN meeting , where we are to have f2f meeting with GDD staff and most probably, the topic is going to be there. P.s: will share if it happens. Sincerely Yours, Maxim Alzoba Special projects manager, International Relations Department, FAITID m. +7 916 6761580 skype oldfrogger Current UTC offset: +3.00 (Moscow)

Dear all: Below find the current version of the UA Week in Marrakech.

Would you please let me know if there are topics you would like to see covered on the Sunday Morning workshop in particular. And if there’s individuals or groups that would benefit from a bit of more intimate discussion, let me know that too.
