<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Is there a standard being proposed? This is relatively high-risk for protocols that go to the file level and still is debated for IDNs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">- Can configure IDN hosts as SMTP, POP and IMAP servers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">This seems more like a server action than a mail client action. I read your first item as the mail client should be able to connect to an existing account on
all such servers and agree. But I wouldn’t expect it to be able to be able to change (configure) the server settings. Can you explain further what you mean?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">- Can recognize an EAI/IDN-style email address in the body (i.e., can be used with "mail to:")<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Actually
<a href="mailto://">mailto://</a> support would be something we’d expect outside of mail clients as well. Folks might at the same time want to validate the IDN relative protocols as well (ftp:// and http:// coming to mind).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Might be good to add details about how this differs from EAI rule-based filters. There’s also being able to sort and group by (which I put under filters in my
mind).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
In some earlier discussion with an EURid report présenter I suggested that UASG can issue a kind of UA IDN and EAI certification levels that can be acquired by software vendors and community developers. A certification level is gained by a software (client
app, server App or API) when a standardized Test Suite -automated or not- is passed successfully.<br>
<br>
The Test Suite evolve over time as we keep discovering issues. Tests should go far beyond a few ping commands to protocol implementation level and optional functionalities.<br>
<br>
This way, either ICANN or any organization can initiate the EAI-IDN-compliance-validation process.<br>
<br>
Bests,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">One of the things I would like to do is measure the extent of EAI deployment today (which is included in this year’s business plan and budget) and for each of the next few years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I’d also like to get a measure of how different client and server applications are able to handle both EAI and IDNs, with ‘handle' being the ability to ACCEPT and DISPLAY the different
permutations we’ve got in our UA Use Cases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I think that there should be some automatable way of testing servers – perhaps sending an SMTPUTF8 Request and measuring the response. But how do we identify the servers to query?
Is there a list somewhere? Do we leverage the work of the Anti-Virus and Spam monitors?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Could we automate the client software evaluation or will this require an install and manual exercise and evaluation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">So, before we issue a Help Wanted request for email evaluation I would appreciate your thoughts on how we might do this evaluation.<o:p></o:p></p>
