All that is required is an email from UASG to <a href="mailto:doodleproposals@google.com">doodleproposals@google.com</a> with a proposal. There are plenty of relevant links that could be included in this email eg <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://uasg.tech/2023/01/uasg-and-icann-announce-inaugural-ua-day-and-call-for-proposals">https://uasg.tech/2023/01/uasg-and-icann-announce-inaugural-ua-day-and-call-for-proposals</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I suggest the email comes from a named UASG person in <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://uasg.tech/about/people">https://uasg.tech/about/people</a> and is cc'ed to <a href="mailto:ua-discuss@uasg.tech">ua-discuss@uasg.tech</a> So, one of the chairs would be good or maybe one of the ambassadors. This will give verifiable credentials to the email.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I see no reason why we cannot make suggestions for the artwork.

So, I am sure that the google doodlers will make a very good job of the artwork.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The only cost to UASG for a UA Day Google Doodle is a bit of time.<br></div><div><br></div><div>André Schappo<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jan 22, 2023, at 3:34 PM, Raymond Mamattah <<a href="mailto:mamattah.raymond@gmail.com">mamattah.raymond@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="auto"><div>Hello André,<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This is an excellent idea.
