Hi Everyone, Allow me to add a bit to the disclaimer included in the profiles Don sent as you consider your votes. As a self-proclaimed pioneer of IDNs and new gTLDs and having participated in their development throughout the years, I am passionate about the issue of UA. I believe UA is matter of consumer trust. While our DNS industry alone cannot solve the issue, we must start here and make sure our works are UA ready. In the last 2 years, first helping spark the creation and then serving on the UASG, besides contributing to the development of the documents we have produced so far, I have had the chance to speak at many sessions (and/or organize specific sessions) in China, Hong Kong and other places including at IGFs and IGF related activities locally, regionally and globally. UA is one of the constant messages I try to include when I am speaking. I believe UASG is at the cusp of igniting much broader awareness of UA. In our first 2 years, we have laboured through the development of key documents that will allow us now to really hit the ground running for advocacy and awareness in various arenas. I hope to continue to contribute my knowledge and hands on experience on the subject matter as well as insights into the areas where we as a group can best (or less likely to) make UA become a priority for others. Hope to get your support to continue to contribute to the UASG in this capacity.
