[UA-Measurement] Independent evaluation work in LAC starting

[Mark W. Datysgeld]

Hello everyone,

an independent IDNs study group was assembled within ALAC-LACRALO. They 
showed excitement for multilingualism when I first presented it at LAC 
DNS Forum last year, and are now moving into working on the subject.

Their initial aim is to perform regional evaluations for e-mail 
acceptance in top local websites of different LAC countries, like the 
one my team did in Brazil last year (attached).

My key concern is that, as we galvanize UA, interest in these smaller 
studies will grow, and there is a need to keep all that information 
useful and accessible.

There are two priorities I am currently working on:

1) Creating a 1-page document describing which websites are supposed to 
be tested and how people should do it. We have followed some guidelines 
excluding malware domains but not discriminating websites due to their 
content, for example.

2) In anticipation of the global e-mail tests report that I hope will be 
released this week, I think any measurement report moving forward should 
follow an appropriate metadata schema that allows us to aggregate data 
over the years and across all regions. I am including a copy of the one 
we developed attached to this e-mail (it is an excerpt from the full 
report).

I would appreciate any information on how this collides with any 
preexisting UA documents, as well as people or teams that are 
potentially working in parallel in similar matters, and so on. I think 
it's vital to be proactive at this early stage.

Regards,
