Hi, John is a core IETF person, extremely well-respected. He’s one of the <10 people who made EAI exist at all, and one of the few-dozen people who worked on all of the internet email specifications. Anything he says is to be taken seriously. He’s also famous for writing extremely long email. Arnt From: UA-EAI <ua-eai-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Jim DeLaHunt via UA-EAI <ua-eai@icann.org> Reply to: Jim DeLaHunt <list+uasg@jdlh.com> Date: Wednesday, 15 March 2023 at 15:05 To: uaeai <ua-eai@icann.org> Subject: [UA-EAI] Well done with EAI Self-Certification presentation! EAI WG colleagues: Congratulations to everyone involved with the ICANN76 "Universal Acceptance: New Internationalized Email Self Certification Guide Overview" session! I think it went well in many respects. Thank you to presenters Mark Sv, Nitin, Anawin, Harsha for smooth, clear presentations, and for finishing in under your time budget! Thanks for authoring a fine set of slides! Thank you to Seda for running the session well, and for all the work you did in the very busy days before the session to get us prepared. Thank you, Arnt, for all the work you did behind the scenes to finish the last tasks. I am very pleased that there is now a draft web page at <https://uasg.tech/eai-certification/> [uasg.tech]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/uasg.tech/eai-certification/__;!!PtGJab4!...>, and that the ICANN76 draft of the EAI-Readiness Self-Certification Guide document [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1PXPELWz4vvQR3...> is available to ICANN76 attendees. As Mark observes, we got tough questions from John Klensin. I did not know this name. It turns out he knows his stuff: * <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Klensin> [en.wikipedia.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Klensin__;!!Pt...> * <https://datatracker.ietf.org/person/john+ietf@jck.com> [datatracker.ietf.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/person/john*ietf@jck...> * author of over 40 RFCs, including those for SMTP and IDNA2008 I think it's pretty cool that we had people of that stature at our presentation. It reminds me of a time when I ran into Donald Knuth at a Unicode Conference session. So, well done, everyone! I think we can be proud of this session, and proud of the Guide! —Jim DeLaHunt -- --Jim DeLaHunt, jdlh@jdlh.com<mailto:jdlh@jdlh.com> http://blog.jdlh.com/ [blog.jdlh.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/blog.jdlh.com/__;!!PtGJab4!-U6iMtYDHLrzPKG...> (http://jdlh.com/ [jdlh.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/jdlh.com/__;!!PtGJab4!-U6iMtYDHLrzPKGGuuGv...>) multilingual websites consultant, Vancouver, Canada
