<p>Hello, colleagues:</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.)</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
--Jim DeLaHunt<br>
