<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">It’s been a few weeks since the UA group met virtually and in person in Dublin, sustaining the momentum and drive that has made this effort an important and community supported initiative that is going
from strength to strength.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">In the next few weeks, I will provide an update of the activities to date, and of the plans that we are making for the upcoming year. In 2016, the UA effort must move from effort to effect, and demonstrate
the outcomes of the hard work of the many volunteers contributing.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Up With Universal Acceptance of Top Level Domains</a>] – Christian Dawson has volunteered to help.
<b>If you have data regarding problems or successes with UA in your TLD, please send me an email.</b> Brent London is making progress on the Technical topics, and Mark Svancarek is kicking off the metrics component. Rich Merdinger & Christian are focusing on
outreach and communications efforts for 2016. Dennis Tan & Dusan Stojicevic are concentrating on the IDN and EAI pieces, an area that overlaps the work that Brent is doing.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">We are planning to kick off 2016 with a face to face meeting on January 14 and 15 in Washington DC, and will take up the kind offer from ICANN to host at their downtown DC offices. As is our norm,
there will be an open conference bridge, and the meeting will be recorded. <u>Those who would like to attend in person should inform Don</u> cc’ing me about your intent to attend. The conference room in DC holds about 20 people comfortably, and 25 in a stretch.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
