UA Plans for the next 3 months
Folks, It’s been a few weeks since the UA group met virtually and in person in Dublin, sustaining the momentum and drive that has made this effort an important and community supported initiative that is going from strength to strength. In the next few weeks, I will provide an update of the activities to date, and of the plans that we are making for the upcoming year. In 2016, the UA effort must move from effort to effect, and demonstrate the outcomes of the hard work of the many volunteers contributing. I’m updating my 2014 blog post on CircleID on Universal Acceptance [More Problems Crop Up With Universal Acceptance of Top Level Domains <http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140207_more_problems_crop_up_universal_accep...>] – Christian Dawson has volunteered to help. *If you have data regarding problems or successes with UA in your TLD, please send me an email.* Brent London is making progress on the Technical topics, and Mark Svancarek is kicking off the metrics component. Rich Merdinger & Christian are focusing on outreach and communications efforts for 2016. Dennis Tan & Dusan Stojicevic are concentrating on the IDN and EAI pieces, an area that overlaps the work that Brent is doing. We are planning to kick off 2016 with a face to face meeting on January 14 and 15 in Washington DC, and will take up the kind offer from ICANN to host at their downtown DC offices. As is our norm, there will be an open conference bridge, and the meeting will be recorded. *Those who would like to attend in person should inform Don* cc’ing me about your intent to attend. The conference room in DC holds about 20 people comfortably, and 25 in a stretch. As you know, the work we are doing is not possible without your attention, energy and ability. We are grateful for the work you are already doing, and we need more of it in the year coming up.

Ram, Agree that momentum must be sustained in order to achieve results. I do regret the choice of date. January is top vacation month for us in Latin America, and I would have liked to attend this meeting (not by remote participation). Perhaps future critical meetings could be planned in a month other than January? (This is the second year this has happened...)

Also, just to note that the Jan dates overlap slightly with the NamesCon event in Las Vegas. That event is gaining momentum with a heavy number of folks touted to attend. If possible, we should avoid overlap especially with major industry events in different time zones... On 16/11/2015 15:26, Rishi Maudhub wrote:

Folks,
It’s been a few weeks since the UA group met virtually and in person in Dublin, sustaining the momentum and drive that has made this effort an important and community supported initiative that is going from strength to strength.
In the next few weeks, I will provide an update of the activities to date, and of the plans that we are making for the upcoming year. In 2016, the UA effort must move from effort to effect, and demonstrate the outcomes of the hard work of the many volunteers contributing.
I’m updating my 2014 blog post on CircleID on Universal Acceptance [More Problems Crop Up With Universal Acceptance of Top Level Domains <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.circleid...>] – Christian Dawson has volunteered to help. *If you have data regarding problems or successes with UA in your TLD, please send me an email.* Brent London is making progress on the Technical topics, and Mark Svancarek is kicking off the metrics component. Rich Merdinger & Christian are focusing on outreach and communications efforts for 2016. Dennis Tan & Dusan Stojicevic are concentrating on the IDN and EAI pieces, an area that overlaps the work that Brent is doing.
We are planning to kick off 2016 with a face to face meeting on January 14 and 15 in Washington DC, and will take up the kind offer from ICANN to host at their downtown DC offices. As is our norm, there will be an open conference bridge, and the meeting will be recorded. *Those who would like to attend in person should inform Don* cc’ing me about your intent to attend. The conference room in DC holds about 20 people comfortably, and 25 in a stretch.
As you know, the work we are doing is not possible without your attention, energy and ability. We are grateful for the work you are already doing, and we need more of it in the year coming up.
Regards,
Ram

Hello Ram, This is in response to your call for reporting UA problems with new TLDs. The fact that IDNA2008 is not as yet fully supported by major browsers has been a big problem for our IDN domain <.بازار> (dotBazaar), xn--mgbab2bd. Specifically, it seems that the four `deviations' as listed in UNICODE Technical Standard #46 are lumped together for possible action making it very difficult to proceed. Of the four, ZWJ does not seem to be needed at this time, German sz may have a huge backward compatibility problem, but ZWNJ and Greek final sigma can be implemented (the latter, as far as I know) without much difficulty. Our problem is with ZWNJ, which is in included in our ICANN-approved Table. This is very common in Persian, Urdu and Kurdish, which are among the languages targeted for this IDN TLD. The only backward compatibility problem here is with a fairly small number of third-level IDN domains once registered under IDNA2003 in <ایران.ir>, but this problem was already foreseen when I was directing .ir and I'm assured by IRNIC now that they're ready to deal with it when they begin registering under their top-level IDN ccTLD (ZWNJ is included in their IDN Table). We at dotBazaar, and IRNIC staff (for <.ایران>), are ready to cooperate with browser people and other interested parties to solve this problem.

Dear Siavash, Nice to hear from you after a long time! And thank you for the summary of the issues you are experiencing. I'd like to start cataloging these kinds of issues on the UA page, so that others can get a sense of the history and also current set of problems. -Ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ram Mohan o: +1.215.706.5700 x103; m: +1.215.431.0958; f: +1.215.706.5701 Skype: gliderpilot30 |@rmohan123|www.linkedin.com/in/rmohan -----Original Message----- From: siavash@dotbazaar.net [mailto:siavash@dotbazaar.net] Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2015 12:24 PM To: ua-discuss@icann.org Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] UA Plans for the next 3 months Hello Ram, This is in response to your call for reporting UA problems with new TLDs.

This is very interesting, and would seem an opportunity to help them get the problem fixed. Who in our group could assist them? Tony On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 9:47 AM, Ram Mohan <rmohan@afilias.info> wrote:

Someone who can convince UTC that UTS-46 is going to cause problems. Maybe the relevant UTC members are more susceptible to an approach now than they were the last time some of us tried. Alternatively, you could try to convince browser makers to stop using UTS-46, but I wouldn't expect much success there. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
