Sounds good.

They would potentially be champions of UA within their companies then.

Perhaps Don can help coordinate for a proposal to be submitted.. wonder what type of format (talk/discussion/etc.) would work best at such conference.

Excellent idea -- audience tends to be heavy on internationalization and character encoding specialists, but might just have the kind of people that can get their companies to make UA fixes.

PS: Haven't gone to one in a while, so I'm not sure whether it's changed much.

Hello, colleagues:

I'm a big fan of, and regular participant in, the annual Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC), brought to us by the people who brought us Unicode. I imagine that people who are interested in Universal Acceptance are likely to be interested in this conference, and may well have important contributions they could make to it.

So, #1, I'd like to make everyone in UASG aware that the IUC has a call for participation. The deadline for proposals is Friday, 24. March, 2017. Please consider proposing a talk if you have something that the IUC audience would benefit from.

And, #2, I don't recall there being a proper presentation of the UASG activity at the IUC conference. (Dave Crocker gave a 5-minute "lightning talk" about Universal Acceptance and the UASG, but that was barely enough time to say that it existed.)

I would like to see a proposal about the Universal Acceptance Initiative submitted to the conference this year. If someone is already working on this, I would like to talk to you off-list and see if it makes sense to work together. If there is no existing effort, I would like to start one. I welcome collaboration. I will see to it that a proposal gets submitted.

Best regards,
       --Jim DeLaHunt
