It is about the launch of Countries First Make in India IDN based Mobile Email Services on 10th Oct 2016 As per the recent announcement of XgenPLUS: XgenPlus is proud to share with you that we have developed Countries first made in India "client-side" implemented mobile app of non-Latin, character-based Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) email to support countries Digital India Mission in various local/regional languages which means client can have email ID in Hindi (हिंदी), Gujrati (ગુજરાતી), Urdu (اردو), Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਦੇ) , Tamil (தமிழ்), Telgu (తెలుగు), Marathi (मराठी) and lot more. They are launching Country's First Make in India IDN based Mobile Email Services with the name DATAMAIL . It a milestone, in pursuit of complete UA.

I blame it on the culture, and on the humans who enable it. Agree that it's not *just* the programmer's fault, although in your example below, he must have been semi sedated to write code that catches a non 3/4 character tld, and then pop up an error message; so inefficient :) It's literally no extra work to change a regular expression match in code. It's a kind of laziness combined with apathy that drives this. Some developers depend on a dns lookup to determine a valid tld, while others lookup a static list. Poor programming choices, much heartbreak lies in those directions, too.

We have a bit of a problem to solve. Some of our web site users are mis-typing their email addresses. When different government departments need to get hold of them to correct an error on a form they submitted, we cannot. These government departments want us to do a check on their email addresses to at least make sure they are the right format and allowable content. Programmer: Sure thing. What's our budget for this? Boss: Zero. So, semi-smart solution for no budget.

On Sep 12, 2001, I helped launch the first non 2/3 character TLD, .INFO. Many of you have heard about how we struggled to get applications, browsers, web forms and email systems to recognize the world?s first four-character TLD as a legitimate extension, including my creation of the Office of the CTO (in a 3 person startup) to get large companies to return my calls. Well, 15+ years later, today I was on the website of the Pennsylvania state government, and filled in my email address (ending in .INFO). I hit submit, and here is the prompt that came up. I hit OK, and the site accepted my email and I moved forward with my tasks, but it?s galling that some programmer _recently_ decided that a non 2/3 character TLD based email address merited a warning message. <image001(09-29-10-27-48).png> Goes to show how long bad habits persist. Also goes to show why the UASG?s work is important. -Ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ram Mohan Executive Vice President & CTO Afilias |Ireland|Canada|USA|India|China o: +1.215.706.5700 x103<tel:%2B1.215.706.5700%20x103>; m: +1.215.431.0958<tel:%2B1.215.431.0958>; f: +1.215.706.5701<tel:%2B1.215.706.5701> Skype:gliderpilot30 |@rmohan123|www.linkedin.com/in/rmohan<http://www.linkedin.com/in/rmohan>
