Question for UASG Chair candidates: what are strategic obstacles blocking UA?
by Jim DeLaHunt March 23, 2023

March 23, 2023

Satish Babu and Anil Kumar Jain: Thank you for offering yourselves as candidates to be the next chair of the UASG. Both of you are clearly committed to Universal Acceptance. Both of you have a track record of working diligently to achieve that goal. I applaud that. Before I vote, I would appreciate reading a brief summary of your thoughts on this question: What are the most important strategic obstacles blocking Universal Acceptance currently? Please copy ua-discuss on your reply. Others might be interested in your thoughts. And, it might spark an interesting discussion on the list. I understand that we have until 2023-03-27 02:59 UTC to vote. I hope that I might see your replies before then. I realise that you are probably both busy with the preparations for UA Day, so there is not time for a long and detailed reply. Something brief is fine. Thank you, and best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada -- --Jim DeLaHunt,jdlh(a)jdlh.com http://blog.jdlh.com/ (http://jdlh.com/) multilingual websites consultant, Vancouver, Canada
