As I have stated before, one of the root causes of UA problems is the lack of Unicode and programming internationalisation education in schools and universities eg students graduate having only ever considered ASCII.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Some of the global skills I have taught over the years are briefly described in <a href="http://schappo.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/computer-science-internationalization_20.html" class="">schappo.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/computer-science-internationalization_20.html</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think it high time for educators to be teaching global skills. So I am happy to give a presentation or workshop entitled "How I Internationalised my Computer Science Teaching"</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But .... I need funding to cover my travel costs from England, accommodation ...etc... Any organisation on this list willing to fund my attendance at IUC42? Don, can you fund it?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am not going to apply for funding from any academic Computer Science funding body because I know it will be a waste of time.</div>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" class="">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>

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 class="">
