Engaging with the interim ICANN CEO
by Mark Datysgeld March 14, 2023

March 14, 2023

Community, During today's in-person ICANN Org. Q&A today, I talked on the microphone about the Universal Acceptance community's work in creating technical resources and the many advancements we have made over the past few years in testing different coding languages, libraries, systems, and other achievements. Following from that, I invited interim CEO Sally Costerton and her staff to meet with us virtually so we can present these documents and, in particular, work out ways for the org. to bring this knowledge to their events and engagements around the world. Sally has accepted the invitation, and once ICANN 76 wraps up, I'd like for us to coordinate to make this meeting happen so we can keep reaching more people. Best, -- Mark W. Datysgeld [markwd.website <https://markwd.website>] Director at Governance Primer [governanceprimer.com <https://governanceprimer.com>] ICANN GNSO Councilor
