Jothan Frakes has has kindly offered to introduce people involved
with Thunderbird to the complexities of ICANN at an upcoming meeting
in Dublin, Ireland October 18-22, 2015. I realize this is fairly
short notice, but if anyone is free and interested, you might
contact Jothan to get together on this. At this meeting "there are
sessions on email and domain names called Universal Acceptance that
might be quite interesting".<br>
<br>
One of the goals that I have for Thunderbird is to be more engaged
with open and public internet standards. That would include not only
email protocols such as IMAP, but also related standards such as the
domain name system that ICANN represents. It we are going to take
seriously the role of being a promoter of open standards, then we
need to be engaged with the communities that develop those
standards. ICANN is one of those.<br>
<br>
So if you are actively involved with Thunderbird, please consider
taking Jothan up on his offer.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi-<br>
<br>
I am on the tb-planning list at Gerv Markham's suggestion and
wanted to see if anyone from our dev group will be attending the
upcoming ICANN meeting in Dublin Ireland.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have been involved with ICANN for a very long time and it
can be absolutely challenging to engage for someone coming in
to it for the first time - but for any of the TB developers
who had an interest, there are sessions on email and domain
names called Universal Acceptance that might be quite
interesting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am glad to help folks find their way and mentor them
through the complexities of ICANN if they happen to be
interested to attend the meeting. There is no cost of
admission.</div>
