Here are the various suggestions by the presenters, which we use during the MentiMeter poll later today.  Look out for the email sent by Kim with instructions regarding the mentimeter poll!

Pensri

1. The ccNSO, in collaboration with  UASG, should encourage ccTLDs to reach out to social media sites and platforms (e.g. Facebook, Line, Linked-in), ensuring support urls and emails in local languages

2. The ccNSO should organise sessions on UA readiness and practices for and by ccTLDs, e.g. at Tech Day or during ccNSO Members Meetings

3. The ccNSO should encourage ccTLDs to raise awareness about the importance and need for UA readiness among newcomers

Anil

4. The ccNSO should raise awareness about the benefits of IDN ccTLD delegation to ccTLDs

5. The ccNSO should share working models

6. The ccNSO should activate the dedicated liaison for UASG activities

7. The ccNSO should create a dedicated group to assist ccTLDs with UA and Email Address Internationalisation (EAI)

Dusan

8. The ccNSO should encourage ccTLDs to use and allow non-ASCII scripts in their own services, including email

9. The ccNSO should encourage ccTLDs to assist their registrars by offering promotions for IDNs

10. The ccNSO should encourage ccTLDs to reach out to developers (Microsoft, Apple, Linux), ensuring support in local languages

11. The ccNSO should encourage ccTLDs to cooperate with local authorities on creating demand for IDN domain names and the use of local languages/scripts

Edmon

12. The ccNSO should set up a standing committee on IDN/UA

a. To promote and advance IDN compliance and UA readiness

b. To liaise and maintain communications with other relevant ICANN groups (e.g. UASG, GAC IDN WG, Board IDN/UA WG)

13. The ccNSO should coordinate with ccTLDs to develop IDN/UA Readiness case studies to highlight and share knowledge on current practices in IDN support, UA readiness roadmap, etc.

14. The ccNSO should encourage members and publish reports on EAI adoption in ccTLD zones (conducting studies and reporting on percentage of MX records supporting EAI extensions, as an indication of IDN/UA advancement)

15. The ccNSO should encourage members to join the UA Roadmap study for registry systems

Best regards.
