Tue Dec 17 03:33:33 UTC 2019

Dear everyone Needless to mention that mark and other community members have shown their full faith on me and pushed me hard for the candidacy but as mark mentioned i actually never become Vice-Chair of EAI working group.I think we all respect each other decision and trust me after EAI working group members continues support and mark who himself supported my candidacy he didnt left any stone unturned to convince me for this position but it was actually my decision to not to hold this position in current term because of some of my personal reasons and let any other suitable candidate come on it which EAI community and UASG leadership find suitable and supports.I apologies for all the inconvenience and confusion caused if any becauseof me, however believe me my support for EAI and UASG initiatives do not need any position and i am supporting it everwhere and will always be available.Thanks.RegardsNitin WaliaDirector Sent from Xgenplus app on my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Although I pushed him, and many supported his candidacy, Nitin never actually became Vice-Chair. 

But if you want a formal email, here it is: Nitin decided he didn’t want to be the Vice Chair.

Regarding T Santosh, I note your dissent.

Dear Mark
I am earnestly astounded to see you Introducing Santosh as a candidate for Vice-Chair of EAI WG. Formerly you announced Nittin Wali as Vice-Chair thru one of our EAI working group calls, later
 in ICANN66 you mentioned that he personally request you to withdraw however there was no formal email in this regard on working group. What is more is that none of us ever seen any communication or any contribution from Santosh in past in UASG or EAI working
 group. Its giving a resilient communiqué that present leadership is completely diminishing and forcing régime bureaucrats from India in working group positions for some bestowed curiosity.
Cheers

It is my pleasure to introduce and endorse T Santosh for the role of Vice-Chair for the EAI Working Group.

Some of you probably already know T Santosh, who is Scientist “E” of the Indian Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) tasked with dealing with matters related
 to Internet Governance, Internet Protocols, Digital Inclusion and Multilingual Internet. In his role as a senior government official, he is very familiar with Universal Acceptance.

In T Santosh’s own words, here are some of his qualifications:

Actively involved in undertaking activities related to promoting the cause of multilingualism on the Internet in India on behalf of the Government of India.
Actively involved in engaging on behalf of MeitY jointly in partnership with NIXI and C-DAC in order to take up the work related to the representation of Indian Languages in the non-ASCII characters. As a result of this .Bharat is now available in all 22 scheduled
 languages covering 10 scripts. 
Actively involved in leading the cause of dissemination of the efforts multilingual internet ecosystem including Neo-Brahmi Label Generation Panel (NBGP) Members.

Presented as a keynote speaker at several events on multilingualism, organized by ICRIER, C-DAC, etc. speaking on the ways and means of popularizing IDN’s , EAI and Universal Acceptance. 

Working actively through various groups and committees at ICANN towards building the rules for secure and stable definition of the top-level domains for scripts used globally, so that people with no knowledge of English are able to go online and access the
 websites with the Internet domain names completely in their languages. All this is likely to contribute greatly towards Bridging of the Digital Divide and make it easier for the next set of billion new Internet users, a large part of which is going be non-English
 speakers from India, to access and make use of the Internet in their own local languages. 

Involved with the project to Promote Devanagari script on the Internet which is implemented by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), under which we have organized 6 Universal Acceptance Workshops in 6 different states of India.

T Santosh and I were able to chat at length about his work.  He also told me about the efforts of

NIC.IN and C-DAC to develop EAI-compatible email systems.  These systems support over 100K government officials!  When they are fully upgraded, they will be great showcases for the multi-lingual Internet.  I am excited to think that our working group could
 contribute to their success.

I heartily endorse T Santosh for our Vice Chair role.  Please review his qualifications above and communicate your support either privately to me or on the public list.

Thanks!
