Hello, everyone: I just heard from the IUC42 organizers that they have extended the deadline for the session proposals to the Internationalization and Unicode Conference until Friday, 16 March 2018. See the update at <http://www.unicodeconference.org/call-for-participation.htm>. FYI, I have proposed three sessions: 1. a tutorial on "Email addresses and domain names are NON-latin! Now what?". This aims to bring someone who doesn't know EAI and IDNs up to speed, emphasising breadth of coverage and sacrificing technical depth as necessary, preparing them for the presentations in the main conference. 2. a presentation on "Top issues in Universal Acceptance of non-Latin email addresses and domain names". This brings the IUC news about what issues are most important recently for Universal Acceptance. It doesn't try to explain the technical specs and requirements. I will be coming to this group for your nominations of which are "top issues in UA". 3. a presentation on "Implementing Email Address Internationalisation (EAI) and International Domain Names (IDNs)". This covers the technical specs and requirements of EAI and IDNs, but with more brevity than a tutorial. I will emphasise depth over breadth. I see it as an alternative to #1, if they want UA content in a shorter form. I think there is still room for other UA proposals, especially something about practical experience rolling out email systems in non-latin scripts, e.g. in India. I would be happy to flood the submission pile with UA content. Do you have questions? I am happy to share what I know with anyone who is making an IUC42 proposal.

IUC 42 Conference
Thanks Jim.
Since last year, we’ve developed some additional material, including:
* Course slides for introduction to UA * Course slides for Introduction to EAI
We’ve also release a first draft for comment on EAI and expect to have this finished either this month or next.
We may also see an introduction to EAI Tutorial developed before the end of the year.

Hello, everyone:
Just a reminder, the Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC) is accepting presentation proposals for the next few days. I strongly believe that this group has interesting accomplishments that the IUC should hear about. I hope that people will make proposals.
I am going to make a proposal myself, and I'll describe it in a separate message. I have a couple more ideas which I am also working on.
If anyone who doesn't know this conference would like to know more about it, I have a long history with them and I'm happy to share it. Please feel free to contact me off-list.
Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada
