Took a brief look before going to bed; I'll review more in-depth in the morning but I'd like to make an addition on hackathons. While it wasn't directly in a UASG session, I started work on two projects both related to IDNs at ICANN64, first of which was specifically what I call Root Zone in a Box (https://github.com/NCommander/idn-root-zone) which allows for simulation of any set of strings, IDN or not running any imaginable service + DNSSEC. I intend to expand this project to have a set of templates to install common services like Postfix, a certificate authority provider, and mail clients so various combinations can be tested. RZiaB currently is in working proof of concept, I can create a fake internet root, sign it, and use it to get valid DNS requests and was tested briefly with IDNs with a web browser, but I'm trying to nail down a better set of requirements before working on it. This would allow us to try anything can be imagined even before its added to the right (i.e., EAIs mixing multiple code points on a domain with right to left and left to right levels). This could easily be expanded into a regression test system for EAIs as well. I also have started work on what I call DNSCatcher (https://github.com/NCommander/dnscatcher), which is a DNS debugging tool; while it's not focused on IDNs like RZiaB, Catcher is designed to determine what a DNS resolver is doing and confirm nothing is getting managed in flight. Both are in the proof of concept stage although I have a solid direction on the later. Both these projects came directly out of discussions at ICANN63 (on root zone behavior and IDNs specifically).

Please find attached the draft notes from the UASG events during the ICANN63 meeting in Barcelona.
Correction and adjustments for those there would be most welcome indeed.
