I don't see how tinkering with the leadership structure of the UASG does 
anything to promote Universal Acceptance. My work on promoting Universal 
Acceptance includes giving presentations on UA to the 
Internationalisation and Unicode Conferences multiple times, and 
participating regularly in three UASG working groups. In that work, I 
have come across many obstacles. Not having enough vice-chairs of UASG 
has not been one of them.

Fariz Ahmadi, could you please tell us what work you have done to 
promote Universal Acceptance? What obstacles have you encountered?  How 
would these proposed changes help remove those obstacles?
