Dear UA-EAI Working Group members, This is a gentle reminder for the UA-EAI meeting today, Tuesday 21 January 2020 5:00-6:00 UTC. Kindly join the Zoom Meeting at https://icann.zoom.us/j/477322983. Agenda for UA-EAI WG meeting Tuesday 21 January 2020 5:00-6:00 UTC. * Review of previous meeting notes * Review of homework below (I hope you have already started it!) * Kick-off of Best Practices discussion Please see the note from the chair below: 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/[nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fuasg.tech-252Finformation-252Fdevelopers-252F-26data-3D02-257C01-257Cmarksv-2540microsoft.com-257C74b1c94d115a4e1d7edf08d7993be852-257C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47-257C1-257C0-257C637146356086752340-26sdata-3DWr8vZfz9RVOCqIb58FhASFmwFxxZONFvmXL452rPFq4-253D-26reserved-3D0&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=qAs-z5lsx1qg4ORlIggZJ8rKxoygReIR_xCeVaO37qo&m=eCoH6E7ytsTU8DqwgfFilrPjJUfVH3C9tX4BkUhhvMg&s=-2i8B-r_9FDrd1AxAI5bPzrYou6Hxc7B62k97h9Iv7Y&e=> >.
