[UA-discuss] Congratulations and some suggestions Re: UASG 2021 Election

[Jiankang Yao]

Congratulations to all !
UASG Chair: Dr. Ajay Data 
UASG Vice-Chair: Eng. Abdelmonen Galila 
UASG Vice-Chair: Dessalegn Mequanint Yehuala
UASG Vice-Chair: Dr. U.B. Pavanaja

   BTW, I have some questions:
   1) Is it possible to highlight/summarize the important work/milestones achieved during last 2 years?
    2) What are the UASG's aims for the next 2 years?
    3) I remember that in year 2018, UASG discussed the EAI day. Is there still a plan?

   Some suggestions:
      If all major softewares/libraries support EAI/IDN, I think that it is a big step to improve the UA environment.
      If all major email service providers/IDN related service providers support EAI/IDN, I think that we can say UA is almost ready.
      So I think that for next 2 years, we may use more energy and resource to help/reach major softewares/libraries/sevice providers.


Best Regards



Jiankang Yao

Subject: [UA-discuss] UASG 2021 Election - Nominations and Result
Dear Universal Acceptance (UA) Community,
 
On behalf of the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), I am pleased to announce the results of the 2021 UASG leadership elections (Chair and Vice-Chair positions). As the UASG charter indicates, the UASG will be “overseen by one Chair and two to three Vice-Chairs who will be appointed to two-year terms.” 
 
Interested candidates for the Chair and Vice-Chair positions were asked to submit self-nominations and Statements of Interest by 9 March 2021 (original deadline was extended). The UASG received four nominations – one for Chair and three for Vice-Chair – resulting in an uncontested election. Below are the results.
