[UA-Measurement] 24 March 2015

[Don Hollander]

G’day and welcome to this UA Project Group.  (NB: This note will appear in
each of the Project Group mailing lists)

The purposes of this note are:
* To get people to introduce themselves
* To share the work that’s already been started
* To build a list of ideas that this group would like to work on
The time frame is between now and the 31st of March.

Below is a list of Stakeholder Groups that were identified during a meeting
earlier this year. 

We broke the list into Doers, Influencers and different Channels for
engagement.    Clearly some Influencers (like Government) will also be Doers
as they have their own IT systems that will have to be made UA Ready.

We also identified priorities and whether that groups impact would be High,
Medium or Low and whether engagement would be Easy, Medium or Difficult.

Top Service Providers (like Facebook, Twitter, and other giant global or
regional players), for example, were given a high priority because the
Impact would be high even thought the Ability to contact may not be so easy.

I’d like to start some discussions and suggest the following:
1. Please introduce yourself
2. Start brainstorming topics that you think should be address by somebody.
It would also be useful to identify things that you would like to work on.
3. Review the list and share sectors that you think are missing or if one of
the categorisations is materially wrong.
I’ll start:

I’m Don Hollander, based in New Zealand, and a long history of supporting
ICT development in the Asia Pacific Region, most recently as the GM of
APTLD.  

I’m keen for the following to happen sooner than later:
* A guideline that IT people can use to determine if their systems are
Universal Acceptance (UA) Ready.
* A measurement program that we can use to see how much progress UA is
making.   
* A White Paper that cn be used to show the opportunity that being UA ready
can provide to an organisation – particularly commercial organisations.
* Some models for local (national) engagement to advocate UA readiness.
Similar models for different industry sectors.
* Establishing some good practices with respect to IDN e-mail handling
So, it’s now your turn.

I look forward to hearing from you.


Don
