8
00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.480
MTS - Video: Internet, when it comes to the, universal acceptance.

9
00:01:46.630 --> 00:01:51.579
MTS - Video: So, starting with this, first of all, can we have the slide?

10
00:01:55.510 --> 00:02:01.439
MTS - Video: And just to introduce, I have Vice Chair Maria with me from Russia.

11
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:16.749
MTS - Video: So we have the current agenda. We also have remote participants, and Vice Chair Regina is attending remotely. Okay, I was trying to connect to zoom, and I was unable. Just give me a sec.

12
00:02:17.660 --> 00:02:23.150
MTS - Video: So do we have Regina on camera? Can we show her?

13
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.769
MTS - Video: Or get her to say hello?

14
00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:32.219
Regina Fuchsova .eu: Hi, hello from Krak.

15
00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:33.820
MTS - Video: Mariana.

16
00:02:33.820 --> 00:02:36.340
Regina Fuchsova .eu: Thanks to Indonesia. Hi Sami, hello.

17
00:02:41.150 --> 00:03:00.020
Regina Fuchsova .eu: So, we will probably introduce the new leadership of the… of the Universal Acceptance Committee, and, the Chair and, Vice Chair. One of the Vice Chair is there present in person, but please do not hesitate to reach to any of us with the topics related to Universal Acceptance. Thank you.

18
00:03:01.450 --> 00:03:03.430
MTS - Video: Thank you, Regina, for that.

19
00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:18.309
MTS - Video: introduction. So just going through the agenda, we'll be, as I mentioned, the introduction, and we would just like to highlight the role that UAC would be playing during the coming

20
00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:31.679
MTS - Video: term, which will be about bridging CCTLDs with the ecosystem of universal acceptance, and sharing information and developing the relevant.

21
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:39.949
MTS - Video: Technical as well as political policies to promote and create more adoption when it comes to universal acceptance.

22
00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:58.420
MTS - Video: We have done a lot of work in the past 3 years with our previous leadership of UAC and the UAC Committee, and narrowed down the whole process to a certain number of.

23
00:03:59.290 --> 00:04:18.940
MTS - Video: themes that we will share during the presentation, and from there, we will work on developing action plan for the UAC committee, as well as the wider CCTLD community to work towards adoption, and hopefully having a positive.

24
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:27.929
MTS - Video: promotion of… creating more adoption within the community when it comes to universal acceptance and IDNs.

25
00:04:28.210 --> 00:04:32.229
MTS - Video: You okay? Would you like to take over from the next slide?

26
00:04:44.570 --> 00:04:46.730
MTS - Video: I think that was my mistake. Sorry.

27
00:04:46.910 --> 00:05:02.860
MTS - Video: out of habit, I opened my microphone in Zoom as well. So, what you see here on this slide are some examples of, UAC work that really works. So, there have been a few.

28
00:05:03.110 --> 00:05:11.649
MTS - Video: initiatives in the past regarding universal acceptance that, where the UAC actively played a role.

29
00:05:11.860 --> 00:05:22.680
MTS - Video: One of them, for instance, is the contribution in relationship building with universities. So the Universal Acceptance Committee welcomed

30
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:36.819
MTS - Video: a guest presentation from colleagues at ICANN Org regarding cooperation between ICANN and universities regarding the curriculum for UA at universities. There was also.

31
00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:49.809
MTS - Video: past initiatives regarding UA Day, and colleagues can definitely speak more about that, but however, CCTLDs and the Universal Acceptance Committee has been actively contributing to UA Day events.

32
00:05:49.830 --> 00:05:59.119
MTS - Video: Including, for instance, the selection of certain initiatives, where the UAC played a role as well.

33
00:05:59.730 --> 00:06:05.760
MTS - Video: Furthermore, USC developed a two pager about universal acceptance.

34
00:06:05.900 --> 00:06:22.920
MTS - Video: And that is really a short document with some information about what universal acceptance is, how CCTLDs can play a role, and it's a document which is supposed to be evergreen and can always be shared with those interested if needed.

35
00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:28.810
MTS - Video: Sami, was that what you wanted me to introduce? Any additional comments?

36
00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:31.759
MTS - Video: No, thank you. Thank you, Yuki.

37
00:06:32.450 --> 00:06:34.830
MTS - Video: Can we go to the next slide, please?

38
00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:46.850
MTS - Video: So… so we… prior to the UAC meeting, we went through the SurveyMonkey to do.

39
00:06:48.020 --> 00:06:58.189
MTS - Video: evaluation of how UAC can support in the themes that have been created over the past year for promoting UA adoption.

40
00:06:58.340 --> 00:07:03.809
MTS - Video: And, from the results, can we go to the next slide to give them a…

41
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.880
MTS - Video: An understanding of how the teams are.

42
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:18.970
MTS - Video: So there were 8 emerging themes that were derived from the discussions of UAC and the work that went through in the last year.

43
00:07:19.260 --> 00:07:23.839
MTS - Video: So email is the front door and is often locked.

44
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.410
MTS - Video: Was considered to be the first theme when it comes to your adoption.

45
00:07:29.610 --> 00:07:39.199
MTS - Video: One weak gate breaks the whole chain, so it's about, legacy security concerns that each organization has currently.

46
00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:50.969
MTS - Video: government move markets, so it's more of, how government policies and government projects can engage and develop the UA adoption.

47
00:07:52.880 --> 00:08:08.050
MTS - Video: So, awareness, again, people fear what they don't… they never know, so having different languages online was another issue that we need to build on in terms of when it comes for awareness, that people tasted, so.

48
00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:17.989
MTS - Video: an environment for testing such services and UA services is what we want to look at as well. Part of the…

49
00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:27.299
MTS - Video: teams show the money. It's, again, economical factor when it comes to looking at how the business will develop and how we can promote UA.

50
00:08:28.590 --> 00:08:44.569
MTS - Video: The new frontier, AI Must Learn UA, is another… is a very important point when it comes to the current infrastructure we have with AI being pushed in each government organization, or each organization around the world.

51
00:08:44.570 --> 00:08:50.309
MTS - Video: So, they should be able to comply with UA and support the UA development.

52
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.860
MTS - Video: And.

53
00:08:52.290 --> 00:09:01.990
MTS - Video: Names carry identity is more of a pride of individual identity when it comes to using your own language or your own.

54
00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:07.600
MTS - Video: Entity as a country, and cultural representation when it's a language.

55
00:09:07.770 --> 00:09:08.979
MTS - Video: Next slide, please.

56
00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:25.640
MTS - Video: So, I don't want to go into the graph more, because this is what the results are, and these are the themes. If we can have the next slide where we can show the…

57
00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:45.699
MTS - Video: yeah, the quadrants of where… so the whole idea of this exercise was to identify top 3 themes that we can work on in the next year as a work plan, part of the UAC committee, and the wider CCTLD community, identify

58
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:53.229
MTS - Video: some volunteer CCTLDs to take over and work on these themes.

59
00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:57.549
MTS - Video: Produce results, and then we share it and pass on.

60
00:09:57.550 --> 00:10:14.550
MTS - Video: So it can be a… no one needs to replicate the same kind of task, and we create, for example, an email server in Arabic in one country, send it across to another country, they can use the same replica, same applies to Russian language, Chinese language, wherever we have

61
00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:21.810
MTS - Video: Multiple nations using the same language, we can replicate that process to save the time.

62
00:10:22.300 --> 00:10:26.939
MTS - Video: So, let me just highlight the UAC's bridging gap will be…

63
00:10:27.110 --> 00:10:43.610
MTS - Video: Or the three themes that have come up are email server being the first, or email use to support with the UA adoption. Second was the awareness and capacity building within the community, and…

64
00:10:43.910 --> 00:10:46.870
MTS - Video: The third is more of an,

65
00:10:47.320 --> 00:11:04.519
MTS - Video: test environment to be shared among different CCTLDs and different language-speaking nations to have a flavor of how the emails work in their own language and give them a taste of how it is used.

66
00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:09.170
MTS - Video: And we will be working on all the themes and promoting the…

67
00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:22.259
MTS - Video: UAC's main objective of bridging the gap between the CCTLDs and the UA service providers or UA content providers, and depending on that, we will…

68
00:11:22.730 --> 00:11:24.359
MTS - Video: promote these themes.

69
00:11:25.030 --> 00:11:27.109
MTS - Video: You okay? Do you have a comment?

70
00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:42.930
MTS - Video: Thanks, Sami. So, indeed, so the bridge role is very, very important here. It's also, as you can see, a small committee, even though we welcome any input from those that are not

71
00:11:42.930 --> 00:11:48.840
MTS - Video: a member of the committee. But in the end, the work needs to be done

72
00:11:48.870 --> 00:12:04.679
MTS - Video: by the UAC. So, in order to make sure that we come up with something realistic, the idea was to look at these eight themes, because it's clear that the committee cannot undertake all of them. It doesn't mean that some are less important than others. However.

73
00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:12.420
MTS - Video: The idea of the survey was really to prioritize or to come up with some assessment, like what are the themes that are.

74
00:12:12.450 --> 00:12:19.540
MTS - Video: relevant to multiple regions, and where do you think UAC can play a role in each of those 8 themes?

75
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:27.740
MTS - Video: So, out of the results of the SurveyMonkey questionnaire, well, the results are now

76
00:12:28.170 --> 00:12:43.420
MTS - Video: put in a visible format in these four quadrants. And as you can see on the quadrants, they're… the focus of your survey responses was towards the right of the vertical axis.

77
00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:49.680
MTS - Video: Which means, some of the themes have been identified as being really of high relevance.

78
00:12:49.790 --> 00:13:06.100
MTS - Video: Where there could potentially be a big role for the UAC to play in those themes, whereas for others, at the bottom right quadrant, you can see that there are some of the actions were identified as, potential

79
00:13:08.930 --> 00:13:10.360
MTS - Video: as potential.

80
00:13:11.750 --> 00:13:28.479
MTS - Video: options. And, yeah, so those have been parked for the moment. So the first question would be, now that you see the results of the survey being visually available to you, do you agree with that assessment? Do you agree that

81
00:13:29.490 --> 00:13:34.130
MTS - Video: Emerging themes number 5, number 4, and number 1.

82
00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:39.560
MTS - Video: stand out as the priority, the future priority for UAC?

83
00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:42.150
MTS - Video: Anybody that would like to speak to that.

84
00:13:48.340 --> 00:14:06.649
MTS - Video: Okay, Maria Kolesnikova for the record. So, I think that, my impression from this survey was that we were recognizing the main problems connected with universal acceptance adoption, and what is felt by the people.

85
00:14:06.760 --> 00:14:19.369
MTS - Video: around the world, exactly CCTLD representatives. So, I think that, for example, email, as a front door, this is the really big topic.

86
00:14:19.370 --> 00:14:34.649
MTS - Video: And this is, the most functional, thing that should be done, because, many ccTLDs, meet… face this barrier when we talk about the IDN support and, better usage by.

87
00:14:34.810 --> 00:14:47.570
MTS - Video: users. So, it means that, yes, I agree, for example, with this point. As for the 4 and 5 topics, I think that, it reflects, more.

88
00:14:47.570 --> 00:14:56.589
MTS - Video: the attitude of CCTLDs to the, how grow IDNs, because, many CCTLDs still face the problem with.

89
00:14:56.620 --> 00:15:14.879
MTS - Video: the amount of registered domain names, second-level domain names in the IDNCCTLD, so it means that still, some questions regarding marketing of IDNs, promoting them, making popular, it's still, thing that we need to talk about and think about.

90
00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:24.589
MTS - Video: And, of course, it's very well connected with universal acceptance adoption problems, also. And, regarding the…

91
00:15:24.640 --> 00:15:36.189
MTS - Video: 0.5. Separately, I want to add that this was discussed in our committee, and the idea was to set some testing

92
00:15:36.190 --> 00:15:53.549
MTS - Video: between, testbeds, EIE test-ready testbeds that are already exist, for example, in some CCTLDs, who works on universal acceptance. So, we talked, for example, that it can be done, like, some…

93
00:15:53.550 --> 00:15:57.840
MTS - Video: Active testing, but also, we…

94
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:11.780
MTS - Video: plan to discuss, some action items regarding these priorities. So this will be the next step, and we will see what Universal Acceptance Committee can do, else. Thank you.

95
00:16:16.810 --> 00:16:19.799
MTS - Video: Any other comments, Regina, do you have?

96
00:16:20.640 --> 00:16:22.189
MTS - Video: Anything to add?

97
00:16:25.990 --> 00:16:27.390
Regina Fuchsova .eu: Hello.

98
00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:36.860
Regina Fuchsova .eu: Regina Fukshova for records. We already discussed it, when we went through the survey, that.

99
00:16:37.510 --> 00:16:43.020
Regina Fuchsova .eu: I think it's not surprising, like, this, categorization and…

100
00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:58.159
Regina Fuchsova .eu: I would see the most possible progress also with this point 4 and 5, and I don't think it's connected only with the marketing of the CCTLD, but really with

101
00:16:58.630 --> 00:17:04.950
Regina Fuchsova .eu: Like, the way how people… like, not the marketing of domain names, but the way how people

102
00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:23.639
Regina Fuchsova .eu: use and think about the internet tools. And I think this is very important. And it was already mentioned that the universal acceptance curricula, we see a high potential as well, because there is connection with universities at many levels, at the local level, with the CCTLDs.

103
00:17:27.349 --> 00:17:27.859
Regina Fuchsova .eu: Okay.

104
00:17:27.869 --> 00:17:39.129
MTS - Video: Thank you, Regina. Dr. Sarmad, would you like to comment on these themes? Because from the UA expert working group, we have had something similar when it comes to the…

105
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:46.959
MTS - Video: type of, not themes, but the action items came out from the Universal Acceptance Working Group.

106
00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:52.569
MTS - Video: Are they in line with the ICANN's… proposed approach of.

107
00:17:52.729 --> 00:17:55.729
MTS - Video: working towards developing the UA adoption.

108
00:17:58.349 --> 00:18:13.689
MTS - Video: So, as far as the guidelines, are concerned, there are two, I think, levels the guidelines address. One is more global level, which, talks about, of course, that the underlying tools

109
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:21.629
MTS - Video: and big tech applications should be UA ready. Of course, that's a separate discussion.

110
00:18:21.869 --> 00:18:35.759
MTS - Video: Then, obviously, it is important that the capacity locally obviously should be developed as well. So that those tools and resources which are already actually UA ready

111
00:18:35.809 --> 00:18:42.239
MTS - Video: can actually be put in use. And that's where I think some of these themes come into play.

112
00:18:42.409 --> 00:18:55.679
MTS - Video: This is also especially important, because when we talk to big tech organizations, and we, you know, we're talking to them to support UA, they are looking for more examples of use.

113
00:18:55.809 --> 00:19:05.029
MTS - Video: And that's something which obviously can be produced, from ground up. And these, some of these items are directly tackling

114
00:19:05.169 --> 00:19:14.019
MTS - Video: That kind of, issue to build capacity, but to lead eventually to actual use of these domain names and email addresses.

115
00:19:14.169 --> 00:19:25.959
MTS - Video: So so yes, I think these are aligned. And you know, as from ICANN perspective as well, we'd be happy to provide any support which is needed. Thank you.

116
00:19:34.049 --> 00:19:46.049
MTS - Video: Thank you, Sami. So, I think we can repeat the question, whether UAC agrees that item 1, 4, and 5 are indeed the focus priorities to further explore?

117
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:50.329
MTS - Video: I see the hand. Anna Karakhanian wants to say something.

118
00:19:51.660 --> 00:20:03.839
Anna Karakhanyan .am/.հայ: Hello, my name is Anna Karakhanyan from Registry AM High, and I absolutely agree with Regina that 4 and 5

119
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:11.180
Anna Karakhanyan .am/.հայ: are very important points, because of… I remember that.

120
00:20:11.370 --> 00:20:17.910
Anna Karakhanyan .am/.հայ: In Armenia, internet began to work.

121
00:20:18.060 --> 00:20:40.570
Anna Karakhanyan .am/.հայ: it can say this way. After Skype, because, as you know, Armenia has a very big diaspora in the whole world, and they need to contact their relatives, and they, began to.

122
00:20:41.270 --> 00:20:48.850
Anna Karakhanyan .am/.հայ: use, Skype, Adna Klasnik, etc. And, the.

123
00:20:48.860 --> 00:21:06.030
Anna Karakhanyan .am/.հայ: before, before taste it, before use it, they, we will give them possibility to, try it. Thank you.

124
00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:15.039
MTS - Video: Thank you, Anna and Sami for the record.

125
00:21:15.370 --> 00:21:23.669
MTS - Video: So, okay, answering the question of, from the UAC, it seems that there is a majority

126
00:21:24.050 --> 00:21:28.470
MTS - Video: Recommendation that these three teams should be the one.

127
00:21:28.650 --> 00:21:36.049
MTS - Video: To initiate work plan for next year for the UAAC and the community.

128
00:21:37.130 --> 00:21:50.549
MTS - Video: And using that, we were also gonna request, if Masha, if I remember correctly, about, the discussion was to get involved more CCTLDs.

129
00:21:50.870 --> 00:21:54.719
MTS - Video: To work in smaller group and discuss this further.

130
00:21:55.490 --> 00:21:58.939
MTS - Video: So, yeah, thank you. Thank you for bringing the slide up.

131
00:21:59.540 --> 00:22:00.290
MTS - Video: Yeah.

132
00:22:00.830 --> 00:22:08.780
MTS - Video: Sorry, you were gonna… if you want, I'm happy to explain the the exercise. So

133
00:22:08.830 --> 00:22:18.760
MTS - Video: The idea was to further think about potential actions. So now that UAC has identified Theme 1, 4, and 5 as priority themes.

134
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:28.970
MTS - Video: It is time to think on how to execute on those themes. And that is why we would like to do some brainstorming today. So what you see here in the room are three corners.

135
00:22:29.020 --> 00:22:30.410
MTS - Video: Quarter 1.

136
00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:33.600
MTS - Video: 4… And five?

137
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.440
MTS - Video: So 1, 4, and 5.

138
00:22:36.690 --> 00:22:51.769
MTS - Video: And, the idea is to, gather around those corners and start with the brainstorming. For those that attend remotely, we have some Google documents prepared. I will pass them in the chat, so you can contribute, remotely via the Google Docs as well.

139
00:22:51.910 --> 00:23:03.479
MTS - Video: After this session, we will evaluate all input, both from the session here on-site and those from remote participants, and yeah, we'll come back to further evaluation at the next meeting, I presume.

140
00:23:04.010 --> 00:23:05.060
MTS - Video: Thanks, Sami.

141
00:23:05.730 --> 00:23:10.730
MTS - Video: Thank you, Yuki. Sami for the record. So, can I request.

142
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:22.260
MTS - Video: People to gather around 1, 4, and 5, depending on what their preference is, or what they have ideas on how we can work towards implementation.

143
00:23:22.370 --> 00:23:26.450
MTS - Video: And we can work on some kind of, drafting

144
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:32.699
MTS - Video: Some work items or action items for the next few months from that.

145
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.080
MTS - Video: And we will have around 15 minutes?

146
00:23:36.330 --> 00:23:37.580
MTS - Video: If I'm not wrong.

147
00:23:38.390 --> 00:23:42.950
MTS - Video: Or… Confirm.

148
00:23:47.410 --> 00:23:50.989
MTS - Video: Sorry. 15 min for sure. Maybe a little bit more. We'll let you know.

149
00:23:52.470 --> 00:23:55.859
MTS - Video: Okay, so we can start with 15 minutes for the…

150
00:24:03.930 --> 00:24:11.909
MTS - Video: I I also suggest to choose chairs of the groups. So who will lead the work?

151
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.800
MTS - Video: I can take email if possible. So

152
00:24:17.630 --> 00:24:21.719
MTS - Video: Yeah, go ahead. You will. What, Sami? Do you want to lead some group?

153
00:24:22.730 --> 00:24:35.090
MTS - Video: Okay, now you, everyone who is in the room, you can join and choose the group that you want. In this corner, regarding the ERA support.

154
00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:43.890
MTS - Video: This corner about the user experience, lets people taste it, how to work with IDNs, and the fourth one is…

155
00:24:44.350 --> 00:24:49.190
MTS - Video: Alejandra will help us. Thank you, Alejandra, very much.

156
00:24:51.780 --> 00:24:58.500
MTS - Video: This is, for the discussion of, why, users.

157
00:24:59.270 --> 00:25:05.879
MTS - Video: I would rephrase, how to motivate users to use ADNs more, and

158
00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:09.749
MTS - Video: What they feel about iDance, okay?

159
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:19.050
MTS - Video: So we have, 50 or 40 minutes, then we will, come back from the groups and.

160
00:25:19.800 --> 00:25:39.119
MTS - Video: discuss the actions. So, I don't know if it's clear for everyone what we are doing here. So, we have prioritizations. So, in groups, we need to discuss what exactly Universal Acceptance Committee of CCNSO can do on its behalf.

161
00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:43.269
MTS - Video: And, taking into account the resources that we have in the committee.

162
00:25:43.490 --> 00:25:44.490
MTS - Video: Thank you.

163
00:45:40.040 --> 00:45:41.570
MTS - Video: Hello, all.

164
00:45:43.720 --> 00:45:52.679
MTS - Video: Hello all, just to let you know that we will continue with the discussion for one more minute, and then we report back on a per-station basis. Thank you.

165
00:45:53.110 --> 00:45:55.099
MTS - Video: So, one more minute, starting now.

166
00:47:08.140 --> 00:47:12.040
MTS - Video: Like, that's the reaching out.

167
00:47:20.310 --> 00:47:21.450
MTS - Video: Time is up.

00:47:26.950 --> 00:47:37.750
MTS - Video: So, thank you very much. If you could please take your seats again, and We would love to hear your input regarding the discussions at the stations.

169
00:48:07.080 --> 00:48:08.170
MTS - Video: Thanks all.

170
00:48:10.850 --> 00:48:15.950
MTS - Video: So who would like to start with the reporting? Maybe station 4.

171
00:48:17.790 --> 00:48:24.020
MTS - Video: Sorry, hi, we'll start with Station 5, Katrina, because they were the first one to conclude.

172
00:48:24.470 --> 00:48:26.830
MTS - Video: Kristina, sorry, my bad.

173
00:48:30.570 --> 00:48:39.600
MTS - Video: Station 1, if you could please take your seats, and we are now moving to the reporting from Station 5. Thank you.

174
00:49:10.580 --> 00:49:11.420
MTS - Video: 2

175
00:49:28.550 --> 00:49:29.489
MTS - Video: On the box.

176
00:49:30.490 --> 00:49:33.689
MTS - Video: Music. That's okay.

177
00:49:34.340 --> 00:49:35.120
MTS - Video: Hi.

178
00:49:37.230 --> 00:49:41.630
MTS - Video: No problem, no problem, it's okay. No, let me test this.

179
00:49:41.970 --> 00:49:55.670
MTS - Video: Hello, everyone. My name is Kristina, I'm from .am.highcctld, and I'm very happy to be here and presenting our thoughts on, let people taste it. So…

180
00:49:56.170 --> 00:50:07.839
MTS - Video: The first point is the action, so we identified that, first of all, you should create a product, then, spread the information, between the

181
00:50:08.110 --> 00:50:14.049
MTS - Video: different stakeholders to combine them to start registering this product and

182
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:18.599
MTS - Video: Like, expressing their interest in it.

183
00:50:19.350 --> 00:50:35.629
MTS - Video: Then, we, identified the testing period for this… for the trial, so to understand, is the created product working or not, or is there any kind of technical problems, or maybe something

184
00:50:35.630 --> 00:50:39.480
MTS - Video: It's not working, and then we'll understand what is…

185
00:50:39.930 --> 00:50:43.240
MTS - Video: Our issue when we are creating this product.

186
00:50:43.910 --> 00:50:54.039
MTS - Video: What about the bridging? We see that the different stakeholders should participate in the process of

187
00:50:54.620 --> 00:51:01.269
MTS - Video: creating a product, or maybe some regulations which is connected with the government. Government should

188
00:51:01.660 --> 00:51:08.559
MTS - Video: like make discussions with the technical community, and they should promote

189
00:51:09.250 --> 00:51:24.690
MTS - Video: like, technical community should promote that it is necessary for the different platforms to have the technical readiness for accepting universal acceptance, or even, like, registering IDN, or using it in the public services.

190
00:51:25.030 --> 00:51:30.019
MTS - Video: of… We also identified that we should go to

191
00:51:30.370 --> 00:51:46.949
MTS - Video: promoting a curriculum, we should go to academia, because if government is ready to accept universal acceptance, but maybe there is not enough technical persons who are ready to like include in their products

192
00:51:47.390 --> 00:51:51.820
MTS - Video: like universal acceptance elements.

193
00:51:54.520 --> 00:51:57.229
MTS - Video: What ask of CCTL this?

194
00:51:57.660 --> 00:52:05.090
MTS - Video: The Ctld first put Make some marketing programs with promoting the ideas.

195
00:52:05.470 --> 00:52:10.890
MTS - Video: And also asking for the feedback to understand what is, like.

196
00:52:11.150 --> 00:52:30.810
MTS - Video: Working what is not to, include, of course, including registrars to the process of, promoting, and, when, we go to different registries, we see that, with end users working, not the registries, but registrars.

197
00:52:31.290 --> 00:52:41.849
MTS - Video: Registry should provide with the technical part to registrars to keep the potential users with them, and end users have to report when there is a problem.

198
00:52:42.810 --> 00:52:43.720
MTS - Video: Oh.

199
00:52:45.510 --> 00:52:56.630
MTS - Video: 6 months… 6 months is milestone. We identify, like, the… the product have to… the product should be created in 6 months.

200
00:52:56.740 --> 00:53:12.320
MTS - Video: may be created, I'm sorry, in 6 months. The promotion of UA curriculum to academia can happen in 6 months. Experience sharing can, as an action, can be during the 6 months.

201
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:21.710
MTS - Video: And that's what we identify, the milestone for 6 months is. And success is a very interesting part that

202
00:53:22.580 --> 00:53:38.659
MTS - Video: If anything goes, like, smoothly or good, you should have returning customers. This will be, like, indicator of a success… a successful story, let's say. Then.

203
00:53:38.970 --> 00:53:40.200
MTS - Video: Oh.

204
00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:50.100
MTS - Video: What is this? Registrations, yes. Increasing of registrations also is a successful story, and

205
00:53:50.270 --> 00:53:59.290
MTS - Video: If not, if the registrations are not increasing, that means that you should have some, bike…

206
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:05.919
MTS - Video: Feedbacks from the testing period, what was good and what was not.

207
00:54:06.500 --> 00:54:08.630
MTS - Video: That's… Yeah.

208
00:54:11.190 --> 00:54:29.479
MTS - Video: I'm sorry for interrupting. So, I don't know if you are discussed it within group or not, but the question is, so we are talking about the actions that, Universal Acceptance Committee can take. So, if we are talking about the product, so you discussed it, as a…

209
00:54:30.020 --> 00:54:32.749
MTS - Video: We should do it as a committee.

210
00:54:34.500 --> 00:54:41.860
MTS - Video: Or we should somehow to connect with someone who can make this product? That's the question, because

211
00:54:42.190 --> 00:54:52.039
MTS - Video: This… yes, so we are talking about, yeah, the bridging role of our committee, because we have no so much resources and people, and we have no… some budget.

212
00:54:52.390 --> 00:54:59.740
MTS - Video: So to release some products. Let me paraphrase all of these points.

213
00:55:00.930 --> 00:55:12.170
MTS - Video: One minute, okay. So we can, as a committee, you can go to the registries for the actions. You can bridge, like, government from different, countries.

214
00:55:12.170 --> 00:55:22.810
MTS - Video: I mean, to work with their community, to promote curriculum to academia. Then, you can, connect the CCTLDs to make, like, marketing things.

215
00:55:23.150 --> 00:55:30.460
MTS - Video: ask for the feedbacks, etc. So I think, all I, like, express during this

216
00:55:30.600 --> 00:55:35.090
MTS - Video: previous minutes, just paraphrasing, going your way.

217
00:55:35.210 --> 00:55:43.719
MTS - Video: Yeah, to register. Yeah, to register it. And, lead, who will lead? You know, it depends on the country, because.

218
00:55:43.720 --> 00:55:56.089
MTS - Video: In some countries, the registries are leading the process. In some countries, governments, it depends on to whom you should go in that exact country. That's the question. And the success, 6 months.

219
00:55:56.140 --> 00:56:13.189
MTS - Video: 6-month milestones goes like this. I don't think that we should change something here. And success, you will just make an assessment of the processes you have done during these 6 months, or maybe, like, working with the registry, with the…

220
00:56:13.260 --> 00:56:24.040
MTS - Video: I don't know, with the government in some countries, with the academia, and, like, assessment will show you how successful was your, like.

221
00:56:25.850 --> 00:56:27.980
MTS - Video: What will happen if you won't find registration?

222
00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:31.030
MTS - Video: I'm sorry?

223
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:36.769
MTS - Video: wallace What will happen if we won't find the registry that will implement it?

224
00:56:37.490 --> 00:56:43.340
MTS - Video: What will me? I don't know. I hope global success.

225
00:56:43.590 --> 00:56:47.739
MTS - Video: Thank you, Maria. Thank you, Kristina, and team 5. Thank you, Kristina, very much.

226
00:56:48.130 --> 00:57:07.700
MTS - Video: For this, can we have a quick round with… Okay. Team one, Maria, quick. I will. Two minutes. Yes, I will try. Actually, so we discussed, we have a group with, Sarmad and Seda and I can representative, so that's why we were very focused.

227
00:57:07.950 --> 00:57:19.999
MTS - Video: So, we formulated just one, action that, probably can be taken, by our committee, so it, means the collection of data about the local

228
00:57:20.040 --> 00:57:32.849
MTS - Video: popular and well-spread, mail software. Particularly, we have talked about mail servers, but, probably… So we can share it.

229
00:57:33.060 --> 00:57:36.080
MTS - Video: activity. So, the, the…

230
00:57:36.460 --> 00:57:53.479
MTS - Video: It means that Universal Acceptance Committee can prepare some survey to gather information from IDN registries, or, which is probably better, from registrars, who are usually hosting providers.

231
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:59.770
MTS - Video: So, because they have this technical information. So, action is together.

232
00:58:00.040 --> 00:58:13.960
MTS - Video: To make the list of popular mail software, bridge. So, okay, the committee can, connect with registrars, hosting providers, and IDNCCTLDs.

233
00:58:13.980 --> 00:58:24.329
MTS - Video: Ask for CCTLDs. Okay, I have already do it. What we need to ask? We need to ask them what, mail software, if…

234
00:58:24.600 --> 00:58:26.600
MTS - Video: Used in their countries.

235
00:58:27.300 --> 00:58:28.290
MTS - Video: Right now.

236
00:58:28.580 --> 00:58:31.730
MTS - Video: And, success will be like the report.

237
00:58:32.030 --> 00:58:34.440
MTS - Video: Based on this survey.

238
00:58:34.650 --> 00:58:36.700
MTS - Video: Which will be shared with ICANN.

239
00:58:37.260 --> 00:58:38.550
MTS - Video: For their further work.

240
00:58:39.060 --> 00:58:44.120
MTS - Video: Thank you, Maria. Thank you for the quick one, Margarita. Can we have…

241
00:58:44.270 --> 00:58:48.329
MTS - Video: Your quick summary of Team 4, please.

242
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:50.340
MTS - Video: Okay.

243
00:58:50.580 --> 00:58:51.280
MTS - Video: Well.

244
00:58:55.450 --> 00:59:04.160
MTS - Video: Fear of — well, this is a group 4, and the question is a fear of what haven't been tried.

245
00:59:04.350 --> 00:59:06.130
MTS - Video: Just

246
00:59:06.380 --> 00:59:07.200
MTS - Video: So.

247
00:59:07.890 --> 00:59:21.179
MTS - Video: First of all, we need to say that, something that we need to face is that this issue about universal acceptance is normally, been talking about, more or less the same people.

248
00:59:21.590 --> 00:59:32.840
MTS - Video: And probably we know the importance of this, but we are not… perhaps not so efficient in order to have this storytelling outside of this community.

249
00:59:33.100 --> 00:59:53.009
MTS - Video: So the challenge is, well, if it works, what is the benefit, and how can we impact other communities that are our final or end users at the end. So the actions were suggested that, like webinars, educational workshops, and

250
00:59:53.100 --> 00:59:59.880
MTS - Video: And the bridge could be first, and the first site, universities and CCTLD access.

251
01:00:00.210 --> 01:00:15.980
MTS - Video: And if we could have asked something of CCDLEs, it's, for example, identify partners, associations, universities, and testing projects using universal acceptance of IDMs.

252
01:00:16.430 --> 01:00:19.570
MTS - Video: And in terms of lead and backup.

253
01:00:19.660 --> 01:00:27.689
MTS - Video: CCDLE, an organization that could help in order to spread this importance, and how the.

254
01:00:27.780 --> 01:00:47.600
MTS - Video: ideas or universal acceptance could be helpful for communities. And the first milestone that we could have, if we can dream about it, is, how, we can have incentives to use it, and the success for us, as the very first milestone, it could… is…

255
01:00:47.600 --> 01:00:55.869
MTS - Video: To have IDNs to be — how we can have IDNs to be.

256
01:00:57.130 --> 01:01:12.640
MTS - Video: Use it, okay, used in public entities, for example. If, end users of the public services, for example, have the opportunity to use IDN's emails, and you fill an application, for example, and it works.

257
01:01:13.060 --> 01:01:15.479
MTS - Video: Thank you. Thank you, Margarita.

258
01:01:16.140 --> 01:01:22.330
