Hi all,

Thank you Nadira, I am adding the indicators, however I shall refer to
EAI and IDN deployment and usage indicators rather than the indicators
that measure the online environment related to the next billion which actually
has many aspects to it including connectivity, costs, education, etc...
( I took part of what Ahemd wrote, I am so sorry ahmed as I just saw your
amendment now and I incorporated many of it below). I think that all the
words that you have in bold are now included. Abdelmoneim kindly chime
in.

so this is my suggestion is

We, the Middle East (ME) community members participating in ICANN64 community
forum in Kobe, Japan addressed in this statement the concerns of the Universal
Acceptance (UA) project with the consultation of the wider ME community.
UA supports inclusion, allowing users to build their own Internet identities
and strengthens their online experiences.

To help in advancing the UA Project we recommend to ICANN the following:

  *   Develop a UA open repository from different scripts

  *   Collaborate and coordinate with all stakeholders such as
private sectors, technical and academic communities and      
     governments to take their first steps towards UA readiness

  *   Conduct a region-focused survey on how to promote IDNs,
Email Address Internationalization (EAI), and UA within      
   the region

  *   Develop Indicators that measure the readiness of the UA
online environment and explore the best applied

       practices that relate to IDNs and EAIs

  *  Guide APIs builders specially the open-source community
to make it generic for all the available languages scripts

      considering RTL languages and actively engage software
developers and  service providers on the topic of universal

       acceptance

  *   Allocate a budget to universal acceptance community-driven
efforts

  *   Address the human aspect of universal acceptance by launching
a UA awareness program

  *   Allocate more resources to label Generation Rules and support
the community

  *   Propose guidelines on means of coordination between UA
project actors

We finally note that our recommendations contribute to ICANN strategic
goal 3.1 of the ICANN 2021-2025 strategy

Dear All,

So I have worked on the statement to make it concise and clear, please
find below my proposal. Apologies for not putting it on the wiki as being
conscious about the time I edited here. Abdelmoneim, zakir and all the
rest please provide your feedback. Zakir I think that this could be easily
read in 2 minutes

Note : I included all the recommendations and added one more

-----------------------------------

We, the Middle East (ME) community members participating in ICANN64 community
forum in Kobe, Japan addressed in this statement the concerns of the Universal
Acceptance (UA) project with the consultation of the wider ME community.
UA supports inclusion, allowing users to build their own Internet identities

Kindest Regards

Hadia

We, the Middle East community members stress on the concerns of the Universal
Acceptance project as a Foundational requirement for a truly multilingual
Internet, in which users around the world can navigate entirely in local
languages.

To help making good progress in the UA Project, we recommend that ICANN:

❖      Guide the APIs builders specially the open-source
community to make it generic for all the available languages scripts considering
RTL languages.

❖      Encourage the coordination efforts of all the stakeholders,
towards UA readiness by developing a repository systems and

❏      Identifying the applications and modifying the
current systems that should be UA ready,

❏      providing guidelines and toolkits for how to make
new applications UA ready.

❏      Compiling UA issues inventory for different scripts
that affect the project.

❏      Preparing guidelines and procedures on how the
coordination between the different UA project actors

❖      Pave the way to develop indicators to measure how
much the UA online environment is ready to handle the next billion multilingual
internet users.

❖      Allocate more budget and resources to this community-driven
efforts for LGR-2, IDNs and raising awareness within regional language
communities for more engagements conducting more outreach in specific area
of UA.

Hoping our recommendation will support ICANN strategic goal 3.1 of the
ICANN 2021-2025 strategy.

Thank you Nadira, Hadia et al,

Its too long to be covered in 2 minutes. So what we can do is that we take
the statement and only share the recommendations from it, instead of all
the statement in its entirety.

Also, yes, we discussed the point suggested by Hadia above, and I agreed
to it. so if we don't have have any disagreement, we may go with that in
the next revision together with a couple of other comments which we received
during ME Space.

I can take a summary out of it, and see if I would be able to cover that
in 2 minutes. Tonight.

Right now in constituency session, and thereafter at the IGF outreaches.
Thanks again.

Best,

Zakir

Dear Hadia,

Thank you very much for your energy,

Since, I'm not able to join you, I sent a first draft consolidated version
so you and Zakir and if possible you can reach out to Abdalmonem to finalize
it.

Please keep in mind the 2 minutes limited time. Better that Zakir practice
reading it and see if he can not exceed the limited time limit.

best,

    Dear All,

    I discussed briefly with Zakir and we think we need to replace
this paragraph "UA will empower the local languages digital content
with valuable contents through the new added local initiatives and contributions"
because we believe  that the meaning is not clear.

    I propose replacing it with "UA supports inclusion,
allowing users to build their own Internet identities and heightens their
online experiences."

    If I am at the session I shall say that, if not and if you
agree kindly propose it

    Best
