Future of UASG:

Future of UASG is directly dependent upon its effective awareness, engaging
with multi stake holders and most importantly ensuring that we do not get
stuck in one direction. We need 360 degree initiatives in all directions. We
all 400+ members in UASG need to get involved to make this mission possible.
Some of the initiative I would like to recommend is to-

1.       Engage with large companies like Facebook, Twitter, Expedia, BBC,
Airbnb, Hoels.com etc to get support for UA initiative and they themselves
become UA ready.

2.      Engage with Govt ,specially in non-English speaking regions where
IDN/EAI can bring billions online.  ICANN Charter
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann-org-publishes-charter-on-government-e
ngagement-approach>  to engage with      Government must be considered in
the approach.

3.      Engage with technology companies and open source communities for
enabling support directed towards UA, IDN / EAI in there applications.

4.      Engage with PR/Media companies in Each region for awareness.

5.      Engage with Startups and small tech companies to show them business
opportunities around UA .

6.      Continue and Review existing UA initiatives, and built consensus of
community around each program.

7.      Engage with gTLD or IDN TLD operators for understanding there
ongoing issues related to UA and help address them through UA.

8.      Continue taking support from existing leadership and utilize
experience.

9.      Keep addressing new challenges while addressing new opportunities.  

I believe that considering my experience to lead large organisation, manage
budgets in my various business and organisations, along with my experience
of ICANN/TIE/EO/APNIC to work with teams in different times zones with multi
stake holders,  I will try my best to do justice with UASG and trust that
you all will support me to lead UASG as well as participate to serve
Universal Acceptance community mission and help UASG  to get billion people
online while solving the UA issues.  I would ensure that each member voice
is heard positively to take the mission to each and every person.

I can be reached anytime on my email or on skype - ajaykummar , please feel
free to message me and I will be happy to talk.

Thank you.

Dr. Ajay Data
