I have a question. The text says that “ Anyone subscribed to the UA-discuss@icann.org<mailto:UA-discuss@icann.org> mailing list is eligible to stand”. However, it does not say - or I have missed - who can vote. I assume that it is all the subscribers of the UA-discuss@icann.org<mailto:UA-discuss@icann.org> mailing list, but I would like to have confirmation.

Yes. The same cohort who can stand can vote. We have taken the voting addresses as of today. Actually, the existing Chair is precluded from standing again as Chair and two of the existing vice-chars are precluded from standing as vice-chairs. In all three cases they have served the maximum two terms. But they already know that.

Hi Everyone, I would like to nominate Richard Merdinger for the position as Chair of UASG. Richard has been serving as the Vice Chair since the beginning of this group, and has been a strong advocate of UA. As the UASG looks to grow as an independent initiative supported by ICANN financially, I believe his guidance, especially with a strong experience from the ICANN community as a whole and from registries and registrars in particular, is critical for the continuity and development of this effort. Edmon PS. This email is also sent to info@uasg.tech <mailto:info@uasg.tech> for the purposes of the nomination. Richard is cc-ed herein (hence his current email address) and since he has been serving as Vice Chair, I understand that his phone number should already be on file (if not I am happy to provide further).

Hello Everyone, I would like to nominate Dusan Stojicevic for the position of the Vice-Chair of the UASG. (+381641452171 , dusan@dukes.in.rs) I believe that refreshment of the Leadership of the group might be seen as a good sign, and also I believe that the group might benefit from diversity. Dusan bas been an active advocate of the Universal Acceptance, has been providing invaluable work in terms of engagement with both ICANN community, and which is really important, with the Technological communities outside of ICANN world. Dusan is able to carry ideas of UA outside of English speaking community. I believe he is able to carry out duties of a Vice-Chair from the formal perspective. P.s: it is my personal opinion from the perspective my past experience in the Standing Selection Committee as a representative from Registries for 1.5 years. I am not speaking in capacity of GNSO Councilor.

Hello Everyone,
I would like to nominate Dusan Stojicevic for the position of the Vice-Chair of the UASG. (+381641452171 , dusan@dukes.in.rs <mailto:dusan@dukes.in.rs>)
I believe that refreshment of the Leadership of the group might be seen as a good sign, and also I believe that the group might benefit from diversity.
Dusan bas been an active advocate of the Universal Acceptance, has been providing invaluable work in terms of engagement with both ICANN community, and which is really important, with the Technological communities outside of ICANN world.
Dusan is able to carry ideas of UA outside of English speaking community.
I believe he is able to carry out duties of a Vice-Chair from the formal perspective.
P.s: it is my personal opinion from the perspective my past experience in the Standing Selection Committee as a representative from Registries for 1.5 years. I am not speaking in capacity of GNSO Councilor.
Sincerely Yours,
Maxim Alzoba Special projects manager, International Relations Department, FAITID

Hi Everyone,
I would like to nominate Richard Merdinger for the position as Chair of UASG.
Richard has been serving as the Vice Chair since the beginning of this group, and has been a strong advocate of UA. As the UASG looks to grow as an independent initiative supported by ICANN financially, I believe his guidance, especially with a strong experience from the ICANN community as a whole and from registries and registrars in particular, is critical for the continuity and development of this effort.

Actually, the existing Chair is precluded from standing again as Chair and two of the existing vice-chars are precluded from standing as vice-chairs. In all three cases they have served the maximum two terms. But they already know that.

Hello Everyone As we have Two Positions for Vice Chair, My First Nomination will be for: Harish Chowdhary harishchowdhary.delhi@gmail.com +919818090092 For Second Position to be filled I would like to second the nomination of Dennis to Vice-chair done by Richard Merdinger Why Harish : He has been an active advocate for Universal Acceptance within India and more globally through his participation in the IETF and the IGFs. His working puts him in a good position to advocate Universal Acceptance in one of the UASG’s target position. He has done complete justice with his current position of UA ambassador and unlike other ambassador in our region who have personal charges and allegations of his several misconducts , charges of lack of knowledge, injustice or miss use of current position and so on, Harish was always away from such issues. I hope that if he can be Vice Chair he can do many things which are expected from UASG.
