Subject: Homework for next meeting - Item #7

 

Sarmad and Pitinan will have the meeting notes and recording posted to our WG site soon, but I wanted to get my work items out to the team before I depart for Internet Governance Forum (IGF2019) tomorrow.

 

In our last meeting, we decided that we should work on #7 as a working group, rather than hiring someone else to do it. It will be fun!  As a reminder, #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”).

 

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/ >.

I am sorry that some are only available in English:
