"UASG Support

With the focus changing to implementation work, ICANN will no longer provide funding or staff support to the UASG after June 2025. We will work closely with the UASG on this transition, including ensuring the document library and other valuable resources remain readily available.

The UASG was formed by the community in 2015, to "drive action over the course of the next 10 years," as governed by its charter, with the coordination and support of ICANN. And per their request, ICANN org has supported the UASG with these resources for 10 years.

We plan to continue to support the UA Local Initiatives and are also looking at how the UA Ambassador program may be supported by ICANN org for technical UA training.

The UASG's many accomplishments will be celebrated during ICANN83, which will be held in Prague, 9–12 June 2025. A report highlighting the UASG work will also be published."

The end of UASG! Some of us saw it coming, so I am not surprised. We keep the memories of UASG and all that we have achieved by far. Notably is the UA Day which was proposed during the tenure of Dr Ajay. This UA Day has now become a global event which I believe will stay on for long.

Thanks to all the friends we made through UASG!
