Intro: Open Source Developer from India working on Universal Acceptance
Hi everyone,
I'm Garv Chauhan, a CS and Cybersecurity student from New Delhi, India.
I've been working on Universal Acceptance — specifically how open source
tools often fail to handle internationalized domain names and email
addresses correctly.
I recently built an open source validator called UA-Check (
github.com/chauhangarv/ua-ace-check) that checks UA compliance including
ACE encoding. I'm here to learn from this community and hopefully
contribute where I can.
Looking forward to the conversations here.
Garv Chauhan

I appreciate that. Even indirect awareness helps — UA compliance tends to
get missed at the tooling level and that's exactly the gap I'm trying to
address. Happy to share more if anyone in the community finds it relevant.
Regards,
Garv Chauhan

Hi Dimitris,
Thank you for the warm welcome!
I'd love to learn more about how the Apache community approaches
internationalization and UA compliance. Happy to share more about UA-Check
if you're interested.
