Hi Lars
<div class="">I think I fully understand why UASG’s strategy does not include end users.</div>
<div class="">However, I do believe that in one way or the other end users are critical in this process, so there is some value in trying to engage them.</div>
<div class="">After all, UASG is not the only forum where these issues are discussed.</div>
<div class="">Cheers,</div>
<div class="">Roberto</div>

You raise an issue that has, IMHO, profound implications.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

From my point of view, the ultimate beneficiary of UA is the end user, who will be allowed to access the Internet using his/her own language and script, and the local content providers, who can ensure that local people can access what they produce.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
However, I am under the impression that the voice of the users is not particularly significant in the UASG - maybe this is also by design, as end users can seldom be excited by technical discussions and there are significant technical issues that UASG has to
address in priority. However, they should be the ones “asking for this”.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="">
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
My point is that we need to get end users more involved, so that they can become more active and even more “pushy” for UA. I am personally active in ALAC - although I have no official position there - and have some difficulties in getting the attention on these
issues. I am wondering whether we can use the upcoming Kobe meeting to have more involvement from this relevant stakeholder group.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

One question that I get asked sometimes is “who is asking for this?” The FAQ lightly touches on “the expansion of the internet”, but perhaps this question should be incorporated in a next iteration. I believe this dove tails with Mark’s valid point about languages
of the web (and evolution throughout the years).<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
