OUR GOAL FOR NEXT MEETING In our meeting yesterday, I confirmed that we develop Best Practices as working group, rather than hiring someone else to do it. It will be fun! As a reminder, Charter Outcome #7 reads: “Review, update and develop technical best practices and standards for the security and usability of EAI (e.g. dealing with homographs, script mixing, variant characters, right-to-left scripts, etc.)” But we have already decided that our WG will just work on the portions needed by mail admins when creating local-parts (also called “mailbox names” and other things). HOMEWORK PART 1: Reading To get ready for a quick start next meeting, please read or skim the following documents from the Developers site < https://uasg.tech/information/developers/ >.
