[UA-discuss] UA Day

[Mutegeki Cliff]

Thanks for the Clarification Mark. With all that you have mentioned above I
now see why it's ideal. Considering Anil's proposal, I am proposing we have
a  *Universal Acceptance Awareness Month. *The universal Acceptance day
being the start of a month full of Universal Acceptance activities.
