Hello to everyone on the Universal Acceptance Comms Mailing list: As part of my work with the Domain Name Association and communications about the value of domain names, we are developing a set of infographics to explain that value and the opportunities in new domain name extensions. It recently occurred to me that we should create a set of infographics describing the UA situation: to explain ASCII / IDN problems and IDN email. I think that ICANN could fund their contracted infographer / cartoonist / illustrator, XPLANE, to do an infographic or set of infographics describing the Universal Acceptance issue (or they could fund a vendor of our choosing). XPLANE works best when the participants describe a situation and they draw it on the fly. The they go back and refine the drawing. I see a relatively small number of us around a virtual table: e.g., Elaine Pruis of Donuts, Jordyn Buchanan or Brent London from Google, some communications experts, and a few IDN experts. At the end we could have a pretty cool product that would explain the problem in plain fashion. We can have the product in a very short period of time. The DNA Marketing guys or some of you can take the finished product and work out some media partnerships to get them published. XPLANE is the company that drew up the Domain Name Ecosystem a couple years ago and recently ICANN flew three XPLANE staff to Istanbul to illustrate the CWG and CCWG proceedings on IANA oversight transition and ICANN accountability. Our task is considerably smaller in budget and greater in value. If you think this is a good idea, I can write a request to ICANN for your review. Kurt
