All is explained in https://www.google.com/doodles/about

Most everything is done by google's doodlers. All that is required is an email from UASG to doodleproposals@google.com with a proposal. There are plenty of relevant links that could be included in this email eg https://uasg.tech/2023/01/uasg-and-icann-announce-inaugural-ua-day-and-call-for-proposals

I suggest the email comes from a named UASG person in https://uasg.tech/about/people and is cc'ed to ua-discuss@uasg.tech So, one of the chairs would be good or maybe one of the ambassadors. This will give verifiable credentials to the email.

I see no reason why we cannot make suggestions for the artwork. My first thought is a mod of the uasg logo

eg //*.*/ ➜ //google.com/

If you look at past doodles you will see that there is so much excellent artwork. So, I am sure that the google doodlers will make a very good job of the artwork.

The only cost to UASG for a UA Day Google Doodle is a bit of time.

Hello André,

This is an excellent idea. So how do we proceed with the idea?

1. Do we need to speak to someone for the doodle to be done? 
2. If yes, any idea on who to speak with and their contact details?
3. Do we have to do any artwork for the doodle to be used? Are there any requirements for this artwork?
4. Are there any financial obligations in this?

If you can provide a lead for the questions it will help us to know the next step to take?

Regards,

Not sure if this has already been discussed.

It seems to me that a good way to enlighten many people about UA would be to have a UA Day Google Doodle on 28th March. UA is after all an endeavour for everyone.

Google doodles home is at google.com/doodles

If you look at some of the doodles you will see a section entitled "This Doodle's Reach".
https://www.google.com/doodles/lunar-new-year-2023 reaches UK, France, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines and several other countries but not the whole world.

I do not know how it is determined which countries are included in the reach of a doodle. I guess it is done algorithmically. Maybe based on keyword search statistics?

UA is relevant to every country/culture and so it is important that a UA Day Doodle reach includes every country in the world.

Google receives many request for new doodles and so there is no guarantee that a UA Day Google Doodle request submission would succeed.

Thoughts?
