Hello EveryoneWishing you all Happy and Prosperous New Year. The COVID-19 pandemic may have brought many Challandes &amp changes to how you live your life, and with it, at times, uncertainty, altered daily routines, financial pressures and social isolation. Entire world is going through Challanges and in these difficult times, one thing we all can do is to remain positive and try our best . We at UASG have been continiously working on Action Plan of UA through WGs. Following working groups are regularly having meetings to advance there efforts towards UA action plan. WG - MeasurementWG - TechnologyWG - EAI WG - Ambassadors WG - Comms WG - Local Initiative 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. The list of people involved is available on uasg.tech website. Current leadership is very clear that our entire communication will be directed towards being productive or constructive. To have better transparency, we have also setup wiki page ( https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=47255444 ) to have all information about activities happening in WGs. We also produced a video to explain What is Universal Acceptance ? That could be useful for people to undestand UA in very simple and easy to undetstand video. Please feel free to share as per your need specially to students / academia and in your events. If you have still not joined any WG, you may please join and contribute in the overall mission. Looking forward to talk to you soon and see you in ICANN73.Best wishes and Happy New Year. Dr. Ajay DataChair - UASG [XGENFOOTER] [-XGENFOOTER] Do not Remove: [HID]20220102234113396[-HID]

Boilerplate answers for contracted parties
by Mark Datysgeld Nov. 25, 2021

Nov. 25, 2021

Everyone, On today's GNSO Council meeting, Kurt Pritz raised an interesting question: we do not provide a set of standard answers for registries and registrars to respond to their clients when a domain that needs UA fails to be have their email accepted or a website address fails to be recognized. Thinking about it, we could actually use that as an outreach mechanism. Something along the lines of "We are involved in a global effort to promote the acceptance of all domain names, and ideally you should get in touch with the website that rejected your email and make them aware that there is demand for them to support this technology. You can forward them this link [uasg.tech]" (only a loose idea here). Something to consider. Best, -- Mark W. Datysgeld [markwd.website <https://markwd.website>] Director at Governance Primer [governanceprimer.com <https://governanceprimer.com>] ICANN GNSO Councilor
