That's good, but that's assuming that Universal Acceptance is limited to IDNs, whereas in reality the issue is much wider. At present a lot of online services and software do not recognise new TLDs - be they ASCII or IDN.So while incorporating that language is excellent, I'd hate to see IDNs as being the primary focusRegards

Yes, I also agree with Michele and Nick.
As a starter:
“International character sets, whether in Unicode or Punycode, are inconsistently managed by existing software products and existing online services. These inconsistencies arise both from non-support of the RFCs or from support for outdated versions of these RFCs.
Software and service providers have historically had little market or regulatory incentive to invest in solutions which would bring true interoperability to platforms or applications. Democratization of computing and greater availability of Internationalized Domain Names are likely to upset this status quo.
A coordinated industry effort is required to ensure a timely and practical resolution to this pending change.”

I’d agree with Nick
Defining the problem should be key
Everything else comes after that

I'm coming in a bit late but that gives me good perspective and I think the total list from Ram is accurate. However, I'd argue that both Christian is right with defining structure and charger, but also first - we should define the Problem space.
The problem space to me is ultimately why we're all here right. "What are we trying to solve for?" and even more so, "How is this group going to benefit the ultimate end-user?"

Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] What are the main things to do in UASG?Ram,
I think this is a good list with one proposed change. I am 3-4 pages into a draft charter for people to look at, which proposes a structure. I’d say we need an agreed-on structure before we pick leaders to fill defined roles, so I suggest flipping 1 and 2.
I probably can’t get far enough along to put my draft charter up for review until tomorrow - chairing a small anti-SPAM working group on SPAM in the Cloud at M3AAWG today. (If anybody else from this group is at M3AAWG come find me and we can chat/complain about timezones together.)

4. Prioritization of problem space
5. Definition of approach to problem spaces
6. Delegation of work

Appreciate input.
