Thanks.

We need to get the formal evaluation of EAI Readiness done first. John’s table is based on our understanding of the status.

Thanks a lot to Don and John.

I think that the result is amazing.

Since UASG was created to promote EAI and IDN, I think that EAI deployment has achieved a great progress.

For exmaples:

1. major open source MTA is eai ready.

2. world class commerical email servers(microsoft hotmail and gmail) are eai ready.

If I read it correctly, I am surprised at that more than 10 percent of COM domain names are eai ready now. It is a very big number.

When this report is finalized, I suggest that UASG can release some news to let the public and some email vendors to know it.

for examples:

news 1:

major open source MTA is eai ready.

news 2:

world class commerical email servers(microsoft hotmail and gmail) are eai ready.

news 3:

more than 10 percent of COM domain names are eai ready.

Cheers!

Subject: [UA-Coordination] Draft Results: EAI Readiness

John Levine has run an analysis of the EAI Readiness of the Internet’s mail servers.

His DRAFT report is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/18W-dAr1Nhe_gVlFKDQZqsqB4bf5N86wryEcALnyUPTc/edit#heading=h.dba7p1kazxqa [docs.google.com]

This has some interesting findings:

We now have a baseline measurement of EAI Readiness so we can measure progress over time. NB: This is all EAI Phase 1 readiness, the ability to Send To and Receive From all email addresses. This does not address the issue of being able to host an EAI address. That’s being done in a separate effort.
We also have a list of the large MTAs (that announce their platform). This will be useful as we pursue the last phase of the EAI Evaluation.
We’ve also seen the impact of Microsoft’s online facilities becoming EAI ready earlier this year.
The EAI Readiness by TLD is potentially interesting. I’ve asked John to see if there are any marked differences with IDN TLDs.

Before John does any more work on this, I’m putting it out to this group for comments.

Once we’re happy with the results we’ll publish this as a report and on our Dashboard. We’ll also schedule this to be run once a quarter.

Comments are welcome.
