<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Let me support Maxim suggestion.<br>
Dušan Stojičević one of the active member of UA community<br>
Besides, I hope he will speak at the IGF UA 2019 (Ukrainian IGF :)), like he done it successfully in the Cyrillic countries during these years<br>

<br>
I would like to nominate Dusan Stojicevic for the position of the Vice-Chair of the UASG.<br>

<br>
I believe that refreshment of the Leadership of the group might be seen as a good sign, and also I believe that the group might benefit from diversity.<br>
<br>
Dusan bas been an active advocate of the Universal Acceptance, has been providing invaluable work in terms of engagement with both<br>
ICANN community, and which is really important, with the Technological communities outside of ICANN world.<br>
<br>
Dusan is able to carry ideas of UA outside of English speaking community.<br>
<br>
I believe he is able to carry out duties of a Vice-Chair from the formal perspective.<br>
<br>
P.s: it is my personal opinion from the perspective my past experience in the Standing Selection Committee as a representative from Registries for 1.5 years.<br>
I am not speaking in capacity of GNSO Councilor.<br>
<br>
Sincerely Yours,<br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
I would like to nominate Richard Merdinger for the position as Chair of UASG.<br>
<br>
Richard has been serving as the Vice Chair since the beginning of this group, and has been a strong advocate of UA. As the UASG looks to grow as an independent initiative supported by ICANN financially, I believe his guidance, especially with a strong experience from the ICANN community as a whole and from registries and registrars in particular, is critical for the continuity and development of this effort.<br>
<br>
Edmon<br>

Richard is cc-ed herein (hence his current email address) and since he has been serving as Vice Chair, I understand that his phone number should already be on file (if not I am happy to provide further).<br>

<br>
Yes. The same cohort who can stand can vote.<br>
<br>
We have taken the voting addresses as of today.<br>
<br>
Actually, the existing Chair is precluded from standing again as Chair and two of the existing vice-chars are precluded from standing as vice-chairs. In all three cases they have served the maximum two terms. But they already know that.<br>

I have a question. <br>
The text says that “ Anyone subscribed to the </span><a style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;" href="mailto:UA-discuss@icann.org">UA-discuss@icann.org</a><span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;"> mailing list is eligible to stand”. However, it does not say - or I have missed - who can vote.<br>
I assume that it is all the subscribers of the </span><a style=" font-family:'courier new'; font-size: 9pt;" href="mailto:UA-discuss@icann.org">UA-discuss@icann.org</a><span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;"> mailing list, but I would like to have confirmation.<br>
Thanks,<br>
Roberto<br>
