Hi All

If this is part of a direct outreach effort, couple of points/experience on this:


1. Suggest having a description of ICANN, its role and responsibilities and a sentence or two about the Universal Acceptance Working Group (from who I'm assuming this letter is addressed). 


2. Anytime I've corresponded with someone on this personally, i've included info in the email about the new TLDs.
e.g. ".club has been delegated by ICANN in early 2014 and there now over 800,000 customers that use a .Club domain. Some of our customers include Coffee.club, Soap.club, Eat.club to name a few. Collectively, there are now more than X million customers worldwide that have registered a domain with one of the new extensions.".


3. Ask for a timetable on when the issue will be resolved 
"As the UASG is tasked with creating ensuring that all technical systems accept new names going forward, we are asking all non-compliant systems to indicate when they will be able to bring their systems into compliance.


4. A link to a technical page about how to get a system accept new domains in various programming languages would be good if one exists.
e.g. how to validate in JS,php etc..


Just my $0.02 on a sunny sunday afternoon in Toronto :)

It’s been nearly six months since we drafted our Outreach to Webmaster text in UASG002.

Since that time, the UASG has produced a number of other documents and the http://ua.thedna.org/ has stopped resolving.  The UASG also expects to launch our dedicated website shortly



Here is the current version:

Dear Website Administrator,

I tried to create an account using my email address: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx.   Your site does not recognize it and I’m reaching out to you to please look into and fix this issue. There are thousands of others that are using new web address extensions for email and are also affected.

 

I found more information on new domain names here:  and here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/universal-acceptance-2012-02-25-en.

I would suggest that we alter this to:

I found more information on new domain names and email addresses at www.uasg.tech.

You might find the information there helpful as you work to fix this problem.


Thank you.

I would like to leave this open for edits and comments through the 10th of June.   Then, I would welcome very much your help once again to translate this final document into language that you know well.

Thanks.
