<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Hi </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Thank you Shaked for describing the current UASG charter challenges so clearly. I wholeheartedly harmonize with and support each and every recommendation you made. Even your recommendations
comply with ICANN guidelines https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/guidelines-en<span style="">
</span>where in its clear that Board members who serve on the Board for an extended period of time are able to provide valuable insight into the operations and future of ICANN based on their experience with, and understanding of, ICANN's Mission, history, policies
and objectives. However, term limits ensure that the Board will continue to evolve with the infusion of fresh ideas and new perspectives.
<u>At present, Board members are not allowed to serve more than three consecutive, three-year terms on the Board, other than the President and CEO. </u></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 8pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">As a result, the UASG charter actually needs to be amended. This modification must let all former UASG leadership to run in the elections, and it must limit the UASG term to three
consecutive terms of two years on the Board. If someone serves three terms in a row, they must then be given a one-term hiatus before being given the opportunity to run again. </p>

It is time for all of us to ask the UASG leadership to review the organization's charter because we have already lost a great number of qualified individuals who helped build UASG in the past, including Ram Mohan, DON, Dennis, Edmon Chung, Richard Merdinger,
Mark Svancarek, and Dusan Stojicevic. <br>
<br>
Sad part is that due to the restrictions of the current charter, many of these persons who were the UASG’s strong pillars are no longer involved or active in the UASG group.
<br>
<br>
As per me the current charter has a lot of problems which i am highlighting as below:</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
<b>Number of people in leadership</b>: Present: One Chair and two to three Vice-Chairs. Purposed: The minimum current requirements of UASG leadership is One chair and at least Three Vice chairs should be always in position.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
<b>Term</b>: Present: Two-year terms with the possibility of one reappointment so Chairs and Vice-Chairs serve for a period of no less than two years and no more than four. Purposed: This should have been in line to ICANN Board charter at least three-year term
for maximum 3 consecutive times.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
<b>Candidates</b>: The restriction that no more than one applicant from the same company may be a member of the UASG Admin Team should also be eliminated because it was not included in either the original charter of the UASG or the charter of ICANN. This restriction
deters qualified individuals from applying and nominating themselves, particularly from major corporations like Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, verisign, Afilias etc. Let the community determine whether or not they want more members of the same groups
on the admin team when candidates are chosen through community vote. Nevertheless, in the interest of diversity if required we can have policy that No more than one candidate from the same company may run for the same seat/position i.e. Not more than one person
should participate in election for chair and Not more than one person should participate in election for Vice chair from the same organization.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
<b>Involvement of All previous UASG leadership/admin team</b>: To keep them engaged and continue supporting the continuing work of UASG, a dedicated working group of all former veterans who were members of the leadership and administrative team should be established.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
All are urged to evaluate the current charter and the UASG election procedure, and support the present UASG leadership to consider implementing the following proposals as essential changes to the current charter in response to UA community suggestions before
moving ahead for new elections.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif"><br>
Thanks.<br>
