Testing for language/UA features of ALAC's website
by Satish Babu March 4, 2017

March 4, 2017

Dear all, Please see the following mail from Rinalia about Universal Acceptance (UA) features that have just been incorporated into the ALAC web site. Essentially, UA features allow applications and websites to store, retrieve, and properly handle domain names and email IDs irrespective of their script (for a more rigorous definition, see here: https://icannwiki.org/Universal_Acceptance) We would like to request At-Large members and ALSes, particularly who specialize in language computing or regularly use multiple scripts online, to test the features. A full set of test cases is available at the UASG004 document below. Pls note that each of the patterns specified in the document is to be tested in your script(s) of interest on the site: https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/UASG004-Use- Cases-for-UA-Readiness-Evaluation-2016-11-15.pdf Pls let us know if any of the features do not work in your language/script. Thanks for your time! satish ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rinalia Abdul Rahim <rinalia.abdulrahim(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 3, 2017 at 3:23 AM Subject: [ALAC] ALAC website - UA ready! To: ALAC Working List <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear ALAC and Regional Leaders, Staff have informed me that the ALAC's new website is Universal Acceptance ready with the features listed below. Can you provide confirmation that community members with IDNs in their email addresses and those with non-Latin script URLs are able to use it, and are using it? Features of the ALAC website: · Where you enter a URL (AtLarge asks you to identify your website) o The URL can be in any character set (Arabic, Cyrillic, Kanji, etc.) o Each domain in the URL can be up to 63 characters long ( www.buysomething.shopping) · Where you enter an email (when applying to join the group) o The domains of the email address can be in any character set o The domains of the email address can be up to 63 characters long o The user name must be in ASCII. (This is temporary) o Email example: username(a)domain.topleveldomain · There is no immediately visible change to the AtLarge user interface o If you have an email from the .cloud domain, it will work now (too long a top-level domain before) o If you have a website in Cyrillic (there are a couple of Cyrillic top-level domains now), it will recognize and use it o If you have an email from a Katakana top-level domain, that will work too – but only as long as your username is in English characters Please let me know. Thanks!

by Joly MacFie March 2, 2017

March 2, 2017

Stream from this morning. H/T to Judith Hellerstein for bringing it to our attention. [image: Internews] <https://www.internews.org/>Earlier today, *Thursday March 2 2017*, *Internews <https://www.internews.org/>* presented *Internet Shutdowns and the Silencing of Dissent <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/internet-shutdowns-and-the-silencing-of-dissen…>* at Google in Washington DC. From nation-wide shutdowns in Uganda and Gambia to targeted ones in Cameroon and India, restrictions and full blackouts of internet service have become a favorite tool of autocratic and repressive regimes. Shutdowns have wide-ranging effects on everything from political speech to commerce. Internet freedom activists and policy experts from the front lines of shutdown battles discussed their advocacy work, the trends they are seeing, and how internet shutdowns affect the daily lives of their fellow citizens. Speakers: *Mishi Choudhary*, President and Founding Director for Software Freedom Law Center, India; *Arsene Tungali*, Co-Founder & Executive Director of Rudi International, the Democratic Republic of the Congo; *Carolina Botero*, Director of Fundacion Karisma, Colombia.
