On Monday August 9 2021 at 3pm EDT (19:00 UTC) the North America Regional At-Large Organization (NARALO) presents ‘Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)‘. APRALO Chair Satish Babu will consider the following and more:
What are IDN, IDN Variants, PDP, EPDP, and Universal Acceptance (UA)?
Why is EPDP in IDN important to the end user?
The ICANN community has been working on IDN since 2011, why did it take 10 years to work on an IDN policy?
Why an EPDP and not a regular PDP?
How are IDNs incorporated (delegated) in the Domain Name System (DNS)?
What are IDN variants? Why are they important?
Will UA be considered in the EPDP?
What else will be considered in the EPDP?

Screen readers have long unlocked written web content for people with disabilities, though still rooted in the strictures and limitations of the visual medium the web represents. Increasingly, Blind technologists are looking to voice interfaces and voice content as conduits that deliver information in time rather than space — and in the speech and sound rather than unwieldy windows. Can voice interfaces offer compelling alternatives for communities of people with disabilities when it comes to web content and websites writ large?
Preston So, author of ‘Voice Content and Usability‘ will take us on a tour through the assistive potential voice interfaces and voice content unlock, with insight from Ask GeorgiaGov, among the first content-driven voice interfaces in existence and the first conversational interface built for residents of the state of Georgia.

On Thursday 5 August 2021 from 10am-3:30pm BRT (13:00-18:30 UTC) the Recife Law and Technology Research Institute will convene the 2nd ‘Seminar on Cryptography, Politics and Fundamental Rights‘. The challenges that the full employment of cryptography face in Brazil and in the world are continuous. Among proposals for filtering communications content, weakening cryptography for access to communications by investigative authorities, and making it mandatory for providers to employ message traceability mechanisms, the risks that the security of connected infrastructures and users’ rights face are varied. In order to map these policies, the contexts from which they arise and the challenges they potentially offer, we will bring together panelists from different regions of the world – Asia, Europe and the Americas – as well as researchers and Brazilian police representatives. The event is part of the schedule of #CriptoAgosto2021 and has the support of the Internet Society, Internet Society – Brazil Chapter, and Coalizão Direitos na Rede. EN/PT interpretation will be provided.
Na quinta-feira, 5 de agosto de 2021, das 10h às 15h30 BRT (13h às 18h30 UTC), o Instituto de Pesquisa em Direito e Tecnologia do Recife realizará o 2º ‘Seminário de Criptografia, Política e Direitos Fundamentais‘. São contínuos os desafios que o pleno emprego da criptografia enfrenta no Brasil e no mundo. Entre propostas de filtragem de conteúdos de comunicações, enfraquecimento da criptografia para acesso a comunicações por autoridades investigativas e obrigatoriedade para que provedores empreguem mecanismos de rastreabilidade de mensagens, são variados os riscos que a segurança das infraestruturas conectadas e os direitos dos usuários enfrentam. Com a finalidade de mapear essas políticas, os contextos de onde surgem e os desafios que potencialmente oferecem, reuniremos painelistas de variadas regiões do mundo – Ásia, Europa e Américas – além de pesquisadores e representações policiais brasileiras. O evento faz parte da programação do #CriptoAgosto2021 e conta com o apoio da Internet Society, Internet Society – Brazil Chapter, e Coalizão Direitos na Rede. Será fornecida interpretação EN / PT.
