<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear all,<br><br></div>Please see the following mail from Rinalia about Universal Acceptance (UA) features that have just been incorporated into the ALAC web site. <br><br>Essentially, UA features allow applications and websites to store, retrieve, and properly handle domain names and email IDs irrespective of their script (for a more rigorous definition, see here: <a href="https://icannwiki.org/Universal_Acceptance">https://icannwiki.org/Universal_Acceptance</a>).<br><br></div>We would like to request At-Large members and ALSes, particularly who specialize in language computing or regularly use multiple scripts online, to test the features. <br><br>A full set of test cases is available at
the UASG004 document below. Pls note that each of the patterns specified in the document is to be tested in your script(s) of interest on the site:<br><br><a href="https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/UASG004-Use-Cases-for-UA-Readiness-Evaluation-2016-11-15.pdf" target="_blank">https://uasg.tech/wp-content/<wbr>uploads/2016/11/UASG004-Use-<wbr>Cases-for-UA-Readiness-<wbr>Evaluation-2016-11-15.pdf</a><div class="gmail-yj6qo gmail-ajU"><div id="gmail-:1oo" class="gmail-ajR" tabindex="0"><img class="gmail-ajT" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif"></div></div><div>Pls let us know if any of the features do not work in your language/script.<br><br></div><div>Thanks for your time!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div><div>satish<br><br></div><div><br><br><div><div><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Rinalia Abdul Rahim</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rinalia.abdulrahim@gmail.com">rinalia.abdulrahim@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Fri, Mar 3, 2017 at 3:23 AM<br>Subject: [ALAC] ALAC website - UA ready!<br>To: ALAC Working List <<a href="mailto:alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org">alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org</a>><br><br><br>Dear ALAC and Regional Leaders,<div><br></div><div>Staff have informed me that the ALAC's new website is Universal Acceptance ready with the features listed below.
