to propose sessions for Internationalisation and Unicode

<p><font face="Calibri">For my part, I am proposing three topics, in
the hopes that the Program Committee will accept at least one
but not all three: <br>
</font></p>
<ol>
<li><font face="Calibri">A tutorial on the basics of Universal
Acceptance</font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">A report on the top news in Universal
Acceptance from the past year</font></li>
<li><font face="Calibri">A discussion of Hosting Globally

recent work of the EAI WG<br>
</font></li>

<p><font face="Calibri">I plan to put out calls for suggestions and
reviews to the list (and the EAI WG for #3) when it comes time
to write. If anyone is interested in making your own proposal, I
encourage you to go ahead. If anyone is interested in working
with me on any of these proposals, let's talk.</font></p>

<p><font face="Calibri">Hello, UA Colleagues:<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation
for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which
takes place this October 13-15, 2021, in Santa Clara,
California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the
deadline is next Friday, March 19, in the UTC-8 timezone.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode
Conference. For those who don't, it is a gathering of those
who define The Unicode Standard for text, as well as
architects of fonts, text rendering, and beyond that into
software engineering aspects of internationalisation and
localisation. About 100% of the audience are solidly in
favour of the values and goals of Universal Acceptance.
However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal
Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and
obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be
absent from this conference.<br>
</font> <font face="Calibri"><br>
If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been
attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them.
Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am.<br>

Internationalization & Unicode®
Conference (IUC 45)</strong> in Santa

<p align="left">As we continue to navigate
our way through COVID-19 protocols, we are
starting to finally see some light at the
end of the tunnel! With ever-increasing
awareness, better understanding, more
established community policies, as well as
accelerating vaccination efforts,
companies are starting to once again plan
for 2021 face-to-face events. IUC 45 will
be no different. We will continue to
monitor the severity of the COVID crisis
moving forward and shift to alternate
planning if necessary. As for now, the
goal is to see everyone face to face in
Santa Clara, CA!</p>
<p align="left">Join other industry leaders
as they map the future of
internationalization, ignite new ideas,
and showcase the latest technologies and
best practices for creating, managing, and
testing global, web, and multilingual
software solutions. Be a leader. Direct
the future of multilingual text and
software internationalization! Submission
types may include case studies, best
practices, innovative technology, or
presentations about evolving standards, to
name a few. In addition, understanding the
design of a development platform is often
critical to implementing best practices in
applications. The Internationalization and
Unicode Conference seeks to offer
technical tutorials on the
internationalization capabilities and
architecture of development platforms,
including Mobile, Desktop, Cloud, and
Virtual Operating Systems, Social Network
Platforms, and Machine Translation and
Machine Learning Systems.</p>
