Universal Acceptance
by Roberto Gaetano April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

Hi all. As most of you know, I have been always pushing for Universal Acceptance, including the deployment of IDN TLDs. I strongly believe that this is one of the game changers for reaching out to the next billion Internet users and giving equal opportunities for enjoying the benefits of online communication. There will be a working session at EuroDIG (https://www.eurodig.org<https://www.eurodig.org/>) on this topic on Wednesday 6 June - see the full programme at https://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Consolidated_programme_2018. I have been appointed focal point for the session, and will therefore coordinate participation. I wonder whether there are any former Directors that are either directly interested or could indicate people within their respective networks who are interested in participating to the discussion on this topic and/or joining the session in Tbilisi. The first step would be to join the EuroDIG-WS6 mailing list, where the session on Universal Acceptance is being prepared. Instructions for joining can be found at the WS6 info page (https://list.eurodig.org/mailman/listinfo/ws6) Please feel free to contact me for further information. Thanks, Roberto

WEBCAST FRI/SAT: Theorizing the Web #TtW18
by Joly MacFie April 27, 2018

April 27, 2018

This is our 3rd year streaming this unique event, which brings radical sociologic analysis to Internet affairs. [image: livestream] <http://bit.ly/ttw18live>On *Friday/Saturday April 27-28 2018* the 8th annual *Theorizing the Web* <http://theorizingtheweb.org/ttw18/> conference will take place at the Museum of the Moving Image in NYC. Theorizing the Web is an inter- and non-disciplinary annual conference that brings together scholars, journalists, artists, activists, and technology practitioners to think conceptually and critically about the interrelationships between the Web and society. We deeply value public engagement, and consider insights from academics, non-academics, and non-“tech theorists” alike to be equally valuable. Both days of programming will feature invited speakers as well as presentations from competitively selected open-submission system. Selected papers advance clear theoretical arguments; represent a diverse range of perspectives; embrace accessibility by demystifying jargon rather than using it as a crutch; and, importantly, appeal to concerns of power, social (in)equality, and justice. The event comprises three afternoon tracks, plus plenary evening keynote sessions. The entire event will we *webcast live <http://bit.ly/ttw18live>*. *What: Theorizing the Web 2018 <http://theorizingtheweb.org/ttw18/>Where: Museum of the Moving Image, NYCWhen: Friday/Saturday April 27-28 2018 Noon-9pm EDT | 16:00-01:00 UTCSchedule: http://theorizingtheweb.org/ny/ttw18/program/ <http://theorizingtheweb.org/ny/ttw18/program/>Webcast: http://bit.ly/ttw18live <http://bit.ly/ttw18live>Twitter: #TtW18 http://bit.ly/ttw18tweets <http://bit.ly/ttw18tweets>Facebook: #TtW18 https://facebook.com/hashtag/TtW18 <https://facebook.com/hashtag/TtW18>* Comment <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10172#respond> See all comments <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10172#comments> *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10172 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
