All,

The mission for the UASG was always been to support the concept that all domain names should be treated equally and has evolved to include email addresses (including Email Address Internationalization).  Inspite of the extensive support of ICANN and so qualified experts engaged from past four years in UASG we were still not able to achieve the desired awareness and documentations which would have helped adoption of UA, IDN’s and EAI. 

Available information and documents on uasg.tech do not address all open questions and the effort does not reflect a “mission accomplished.” 

Infact the efforts and deliverables to date from the existing administrative group is not at all visible. As a matter of great surprise the members of existing administrative group even failed to make their own businesses / organizations Universal acceptance ready till date with is decidedly discouraging for the community and have great question mark on their leadership, dedication and focus for UA.

I individually believes that if there will be no change of individuals in existing administrative group and people just swap the positions for namesake then I seriously don’t see that anything will change in UASG approach to promote the development and adoption of recommended practices and deployable assets that will enable the currently excluded ones to get online and experience the wealth of opportunity that a natively accessible internet can provide.

What I as members of UASG community expect from new administrative group:

1. They must lead with example and make clear Commitment to make their own businesses / organizations Universal acceptance ready without any more delay.
2. Effectively impart the value and potential benefits of adopting UA outside of a small set of engaged providers and must have a help/support available for them. 
3. Dedicate their team and official’s to advocate the concepts of UA and encourage its adoption widely in every region.
4. Dedicate their complete focus on IDN and EAI. These are very important efforts within the UA agenda and should get substantial resources / industry experts for its further expansion of supporting technologies. 
5. Develop meaningful materials to provide quality guidance for implementers and solution providers.
6. Use UASG funds wisely in outreach, communications and awareness component of IDNs, EAI, which has completely lacked over the past four years.

I suggest everyone in the group must genuinely think and then support any individual for any position chair/vice-chairs, there is no impairment if we seriously think to have a very strong dedicated and focused individuals now in the administrative group so that what we were unable to achieve in last four years do not happen again.

What we should consider is to give chance to those strong think tanks who can help internet community on bringing the mission of Universal Acceptance to a strong and successful result. Four years period is not small period which we have given to existing individuals presently involved in administrative group and we are still nowhere.

Sincerely,
