[UA-discuss] IDN treatment in Linkedin

[Mark Datysgeld]

As far as UA deployment strategy is concerned,

India seems to be an outlier that can maybe be cited alongside Russia, 
isolated success cases in the midst of a lot of otherwise difficult and 
overly tentative relationships with governments. On the broader scheme 
of things, government engagement is time-consuming and time-limited, as 
every few years the people get shuffled and often progress on any given 
agenda can be dragged back to point zero. This can be observed in the 
GAC, in which, apart from some longstanding members, as much as 2/3 of 
the group gets replaced every 3 or so years.

In other words, there is still has much more ROI to be gained from 
investing in fixing code and educating developers so that solutions get 
adopted by default in the future than there is in working with 
governments. These platforms that are royalty right now will eventually 
be replaced by others, as is always the case. When those get developed, 
hopefully it will be done with UA-ready code.
