Dear all,

May I confirm that I have no intention to provide additional SOIs for any group or organization that is part of the ICANN ecosystem.

I understand that, as a consequence, I will be removed from the UASG mailing lists. I regret this because, to be fair, my contributions to UASG has been minimal, while I have learned a lot from all subscribers to UASG (can I say “members”?), in particular during the times of Don Hollander and Ram Mohan, but also to the more recent days.

...
The fact that the form itself has been developed in such a poor way as to not being compliant with what we claim to be the ultimate purpose of our community, i.e. Universal Acceptance, only adds insult to injury. Hence my decision not to fill it in.

I am sure that I will meet most of you in other fora in the future, looking forward to it.

Best regards,
Roberto

Dear UASG members,
 
We hope this email finds you well. As part of ICANN’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and accountability within the multistakeholder ecosystem, we are reaching out to verify your continued interest in receiving information from the UASG. To retain access to UASG mailing lists, you must submit your Statement of Interest (SOI) by 15 May, 2024. This practice is consistent with other groups of the ICANN community (e.g., see SOIs for GNSO, or click “New SOIs” on the left menu here.)
 
 
If you are unable to complete your SOI by 15 May 2024 deadline, you will be unsubscribed from all UASG email lists. However, you can resubscribe at a later time by submitting your SOI.
 
ICANN will publicly publish the received SOIs at https://uasg.tech/member-area/ [uasg.tech].   
 
We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Your participation is instrumental in building a more transparent and robust community. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@uasg.tech
 
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to your valuable contributions.
 
Best regards,
 
UASG Leadership Team
