Don,

When I founded the Universal Acceptance Steering Group, along with several
other community members, the single most momentous decision Cyrus & I made
was to ask you to help us by becoming the Secretary General of the UASG.



In short order, volunteer led actions that had not made it into execution
moved at record speed. Order, schedules and roadmaps became the norm. All
of us volunteers and subject matter experts were able to focus on the
significant issues ahead of us, rather than the administrative ones.



Of all the people involved in the UASG, I have perhaps been the largest
beneficiary of your excellence, your dedication, your sense of humor, your
focus, and most importantly, your friendship. Along the way, you have
ensured that the UASG remains a community-led initiative that has both
achieved real results, emerging as an exemplar of how substantial and good
things can happen in ICANN-land.



You will always be a pioneering leader in Universal Acceptance.



-Ram

A short note to say that after more than four years of active and direct
involvement with the Universal Acceptance Steering Group I am stepping down
as the Secretary General at the end of the month.



I have been keen to do this for quite some time and the group now has a
very detailed (nearly 100) set of actions for the next year and the newly
elected leadership are well established.



The administration of the program will be supported going forward by
ICANN’s Sarmad Hussain who has been closely involved since the ICANN Board
included Universal Acceptance as one of its five strategic objectives last
year.



So many people who have been along for the ride for so long to thank.



The UASG will issue a formal announcement in due course and ICANN will
issue a blog in the next couple of months about their vision of Universal
Acceptance.



Anyone who wants to contact me can reach me at kōrero at ngāpukapuka.nz
