Thanks for the
Clarification Mark. With all that you have mentioned above I
now see why it's ideal. Considering Anil's proposal, I am
proposing we have a Universal Acceptance Awareness Month.
The universal Acceptance day being the start of a month
full of Universal Acceptance activities.

The feasibility of doing all UA Day events in a single global day was extensively tested last year and proved to be something nearly impossible to coordinate.
A report was circulated outlining the many factors as to why that is, based on surveying the organizers themselves. It involves elements such as national holidays, cultural traditions, local university and business integration timings, and several other factors that can be found in the report.
Having a 2 month span to carry these events out is ideal, even more so because delays and reschedulings are commonplace and we ended up with a wide calendar in spite of all efforts.

I do agree with steve. Furthermore, it would not be the best time to change the system if we have not given the current one ample time to assess whether we should celebrate for 2 months or not. Now, i understand the objective is to raise awareness, but what is the justification for that ?

Here are my two cents Anil , Chair.Celeberation of UA Day for two months is illogical and departure from plan ? That means we may celerate UA day whole year. The idea shared in icann meeting was to dedicate a fixed date to celebrate UA Day every year. Changing the date every year by each Chair is not in best interest of uasg.
Please check again.
