[UA-discuss] Reminder: EAI Evaluation Phase 1, Part 1 Review calls

Tue Jul 10 05:29:22 UTC 2018

Dear AllFirstly I would like to congratulate The Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) for taking this Project thought to evaluate the existing EAI capabilities of that ecosystem, in order to measure its &ldquoEAI Readiness&rdquo. This will really be a good report which will help the industry.
Here are a couple questions in for today&rsquos call:
1)        I also support that when email servers are been tested along with them the EAI complied antispam servers must also be tested as anti-spam is one of the major component for any email server deployment and all incoming emails are been dealt first there, so I hope that it should be part of the software types listed being part of components from the email software ecosystem.
2)        In 3.3.1 Table of Email Software and Service Selections &ndash Software - XgenPlus Email Server, just to share that it also qualify for Mail Service Provider (MSP) as hosted email services are available as offering on website itself https://www.xgenplus.com/buy/

Warm Regards

Here are a couple questions in anticipation of the call:

1)      Are there quantitative metrics for evaluating software popularity vs language community size? A small language community might use specialized software that gets lost in the larger popularity evaluation. Perhaps in addition to showing regional coverage, a list of language communities and the software typically used for them would clarify the diversity criteria being satisfied.
2)      Along the same lines, the coverage table shows ap, eu, and na but not latam, middle east or Africa. Is there an investigation into those markets? Also, I suspect China and Japan have different requirements and should be distinct.

3)      Perhaps we should clarify that regardless of the origin of the software, the tests should be for all languages and cultures. Software from EU should still fully support EAI from any market. Perhaps it is obvious, but it may be worth pointing out in the test criteria if not in the mission statement.
4)      How do device limitations play into the testing, especially for MUA? Is my mobile device expected to display EAI in any language? Will you test MUA on multiple devices? My cable box and my car gps now tells me when I have incoming messages. How does hardware limit the mua? Is that a criteria?
5)      I think security and anti-spam is one of the obstacles to EAI, since it often (or used to) rejects legitimate messages with eai. I suspect it should be part of the software types listed. I understand limiting scope of a project, but it might be useful to call out it should be considered in a future evaluation rather than just identifying it as an obstacle to the study.

This is a call to go over the First Draft of the first phase of the EAI Evaluation study.

This first draft, attached, covers the selection criteria for email software and service providers.   It also includes an initial look at potential candidates for evaluation.

We&rsquore scheduling two calls.   If you&rsquore interested in participating, could you please let me know which time works best for you?   If there&rsquos no interest in one of the times then we won&rsquot have it.

And if you have comments or questions, please make them to the list.
