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
