[ALAC] ALAC website - UA ready!

[Rinalia Abdul Rahim]

Dear ALAC and Regional Leaders,

Staff have informed me that the ALAC's new website is Universal Acceptance
ready with the features listed below.  Can you provide confirmation that
community members with IDNs in their email addresses and those with
non-Latin script URLs are able to use it, and are using it?

Features of the ALAC website:

·       Where you enter a URL (AtLarge asks you to identify your website)

o   The URL can be in any character set (Arabic, Cyrillic, Kanji, etc.)

o   Each domain in the URL can be up to 63 characters long (
www.buysomething.shopping)

·       Where you enter an email (when applying to join the group)

o   The domains of the email address can be in any character set

o   The domains of the email address can be up to 63 characters long

o   The user name must be in ASCII.  (This is temporary)

o   Email example: username at domain.topleveldomain

·       There is no immediately visible change to the AtLarge user interface

o   If you have an email from the .cloud domain, it will work now (too long
a top-level domain before)

o   If you have a website in Cyrillic (there are a couple of Cyrillic
top-level domains now), it will recognize and use it

o   If you have an email from a Katakana top-level domain, that will work
too – but only as long as your username is in English characters

Please let me know.

Thanks!


Best regards,

Rinalia
