<div dir="ltr"><div>Developers are going to need an entirely different resource and dialog...</div><div><br></div><div>I mean this with kind, loving respect - Most of the audience at Nanog (I am one of them) are essentially the "Security, DNS or router jedi" - the equivalence of characters that the great Harvey Kitel plays in films, like Mr. Wolfe or "The Cleaner" ... They push the broom behind the parade cleaning up what the marketing folk and developers do and stabilize things for secure operational resilience and what not. Totally different message to them about UA.</div><div><br></div><div>The message to the developer community would be more one of awareness of nTLDs, resources like the IANA PSL (or even the Mozilla one), and "here's how you can best interact with a User Interface and not present errors for valid domains", TLD handling, IDNA, and other things that they'll care about.</div><div><br></div>Separately, on the topic of including that presentation on the universalacceptance page - I think that presentation probably helped the audience at nanog (I'm a member, I liked it).<div><br></div><div>The presentation gained the benefit of your narrative, and it was designed to support the narrative rather than be a stand alone document, so someone reading that deck without the benefit of your dialog may get lost in a sea of insider acronyms or terminology. I would defer to others at ICANN on the choice to use it, though it certainly could not hurt to have more. I'd have it be a video with your narrative running through the deck to make things more clear if I ran the world.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br>Jothan Frakes<br>Tel: +1.206-355-0230<br><br></div></div></div>
