by Don Hollander July 9, 2020

July 9, 2020

A nice way to end a fairly productive year. Plans coming up: There will be a Universal Acceptance gathering on Monday the 8th of January in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong IT Community. This is being organised by .asia, ISOC HK and UASG. If you’ve not yet received an invitation but will be in Hong Kong that afternoon, please let me know and we’ll organise one. 15:00 - 18:00 at the Sheraton. The UASG Coordination Group will be meeting on Tuesday the 9th of January and the morning of the 10th if necessary, also in Hong Kong. The agenda will be out next week. Full remote participation will be available if there’s interest. There will be a meeting of EAI operators on the 11th and 12th in Guangzhou, China, hosted by Coremail and CNNIC. If you are an EAI practitioner and would like to participate and have not otherwise registered, please let me know. I expect that we’ll have remote participation facilities. The UASG is expecting another UA Workshop on Day 0 of the ICANN meeting in Puerto Rico as well as a public update session during the week. Dates and venues still to be confirmed. Happy New Year to everyone. If you’re out celebrating, please get home safe. Don Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group www.uasg.tech don.hollander(a)icann.org Skype: don_hollander

by Dr Ajay Data Oct. 15, 2019

Oct. 15, 2019

Hello Everyone As you know that we have been working on setting up Strategic Plan of UA and its WGs. Most of the work in relation to WGs is over and here is the brief update.WG - Measurement: Setup and Chaired by Dennis TanWG - Technology: Setup and Chaired by Satish Babu and Vice Chair Dessalegn YehualaWG - EAI : Setup and Chaired by Mark SvancarekWG - Ambassadors : Setup and Chaired by Du&scaronan StojičevićWG - Comms : Setup and Chaired by Rahul Gosain and Vice Chair Lilian Ivette De Luque BrugesWG - Local Initiative : Setup in Progress I wish to thank everyone who have taken the volunteering lead to work in these WGs and committed to make a positive difference in peoples life. As we are also approaching towards ICANN66 in Montreal soon and I hope some of us are going to be attending this in person or most of us remotely. Tentative agenda of UA in ICANN66 is below for your reference . Tentative - UA Program Formal Sessions Sun, 3 Nov . 1515 - 1645 - UA: Communication and Local Initiatives Meeting Sun, 3 Nov . 1700 - 1815 - UA: Ambassadors and Measurement Mon, 4 Nov . 1515 - 1645 - UA: Technology and Internationalized Email Meeting Wed, 6 Nov . - UA: Community Update Session (not yet in schedule) Wed, 7 Nov . 0845 - 1015 - UA: Coordination Workshop As the ICANN66 Schedule is now published, you may visit and look at final schedule at https://66.schedule.icann.org/ and setup your meetings schedule for ICANN66.As We wish to maximize the benefit of being present at ICANN66. Unlike past UA meeting where we would have a single all-day workshop on day zero (before ICANN officially starts), for ICANN66 we are proposing to have several mini sessions throughout the entire week. Each session will have some specific focus (i.e. ambassadors, measurement, EAI, etc). This allows UA program to be part of ICANN66 Schedule and also many of us can attend many sessions as per the interest. All sessions are Open and remote participation possible.Current leadership is very clear that our entire communication will be directed towards being productive or constructive. We have been given Charter to uphold and we intent to work with in provided framework. Whenever you have questions about UASG decisions please send email to info(a)uasg.tech to answer you queries if any.To have better transparency, we have also setup wiki pages for each WG. We are also going to have quarterly call where I am working to give progress update of UASG. You will soon hear the announcement for the same.If you have still not joined any WG, you may please join and contribute in the overall mission. You may also like to look at UASG Strategic plan document and see opportunities it offers to contribute and join for specific purpose. Looking forward to talk to you soon and see you in ICANN66.Best Wishes. Dr. Ajay DataChair - UASG [XGENFOOTER] [-XGENFOOTER] Do not Remove: [HID]20191015124915118[-HID]
