<br>
I have been keen to do this for quite some time and the group now has a very detailed (nearly 100) set of actions for the next year and the newly elected leadership are well established.<br>
<br>
The administration of the program will be supported going forward by ICANN’s Sarmad Hussain who has been closely involved since the ICANN Board included Universal Acceptance as one of its five strategic objectives last year.<br>
<br>
So many people who have been along for the ride for so long to thank. <br>
<br>
The UASG will issue a formal announcement in due course and ICANN will issue a blog in the next couple of months about their vision of Universal Acceptance.<br>
