<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hello all,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I think the
Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC42) is a very
good audience for Universal Acceptance messages. I encourage
people to consider proposing talks or tutorials for this
conference. The conference is 10-12 September, 2018, in Santa
Clara, California, USA. The deadline to submit proposals is 9
March, 2018.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Last year they let me
do a tutorial on Universal Acceptance (domain names and email
addresses) in general. It went well, and I intend to propose
that again. Also, last year they let me do a presentation on
"Universal Acceptance of non-Latin email addresses and domain
names: how does your framework rate?", based on this group's
UASG0018 note. I think I want to propose something about
current UA activity, but updated from the 2017 content.</font></p>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">There is a lot of good UA
activity going on, much of it by people in this group. I would be
pleased to see multiple proposals on UA-related topics submitted
to IUC42. It won't all get accepted, but probably more strong
proposals will lead to more good content getting accepted.<br>
<br>
