Hello Mr. Anil Kumar Jain,
Warm greetings.
As a long-standing and committed participant in the Universal Acceptance
Steering Group (UASG) community, I would like to respectfully bring your
attention to several matters of importance that have been pending
resolution or communication. These points have been raised previously by
members of the community and continue to require clarification:
1.
*Governance Commitments:*
More than one year has passed since commitments were made to respond to
community concerns regarding UASG governance. Unfortunately, no formal
update has been provided. May I kindly ask when the community can expect a
response on these matters?
2.
*UASG Five-Year Strategic Plan:*
The draft of the five-year plan was presented some time ago, yet its
final version has not been released. We seek clarity on its status and when
it will be made available to the wider community.
3.
*Working Group Leadership Appointments:*
It was understood that the appointments of WG chairs and vice chairs
would be for limited terms. However, under your leadership, no changes have
taken place in over two years, despite repeated and strong community
objections. There has been concern regarding the concentration of roles,
with individuals holding multiple positions and occupying leadership posts
for extended periods. A transparent process for leadership rotation is not
only overdue but necessary to ensure inclusiveness and fresh momentum.
4.
*Status of Working Groups:*
Kindly share a current list of active working groups within the UASG. It
would be helpful to know which groups are still functional and which, if
any, have been retired or consolidated.
5.
*Upcoming UASG Leadership Elections:*
As the current two-year term approaches its conclusion, there has been
no announcement regarding the election process, call for nominations, or a
timeline. This delay is creating uncertainty and concern within the
community. Timely initiation of the election process is essential to uphold
transparency and community trust.
6.
*UA Ambassadors – Renewal and Rotation:*
The term for UA Ambassadors is generally one year. We kindly request
information on when new appointments will be made, as well as whether there
is a process in place to bring in new contributors and rotate out
individuals who have not been actively engaged.
Mr. Jain, as someone deeply committed to the vision of Universal
Acceptance, I urge you to provide an update to the community on these
matters at the earliest opportunity. Transparent communication will help
strengthen the confidence and collaboration within the UASG and its broader
ecosystem.
With kind regards,
*Maxim Skvortsova*
