[UA-Measurement] Measuring the extent of Universal Acceptance Readiness

[Don Hollander]

Dear all,

I would very much appreciate your thoughts about how we might measure
progress in Universal Acceptance.

One idea is to look at the top 100 web sites in a community (geography,
industry, etc) and see whether they accept registrations with an e-mail
address from the new TLDs – both ASCII and IDNs.   This could be repeated
over time to see if progress happens.

Another is to see how a class of software deals with new gTLDs – again, both
IDNs and ASCII.  How do different browsers deal with different strings?
(Do they treat them as addresses or search strings?  Do they display Unicode
or Punycode?)   

What other ideas do you have for measuring and monitoring?   How can we
determine where to put our initial outreach efforts?  How will we know if
we’ve made progress?

Don
