<p>Mehta:</p>
<p>Welcome to the UASG! It is good to have more people who are
interested in helping make globally inclusive domain names and
email addresses accepted universally. And, I personally am glad to
see another Canadian posting here.</p>
<p>> Is it possible to view the candidate profiles on any site?</p>
<p>Not yet. There are not yet any candidates. This email thread is a
call for nominations. Once the nominations are all received, I
expect you will see candidate profiles posted.</p>
<p>> What is the purpose of the election? <br>
</p>
<p>To elect the top leaders of this group, the Universal Acceptance
Steering Group. For more information about the duties of these
leaders, and the election process, look at the Operational
Documents section of the UASG website
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://uasg.tech/operational-documents/"><https://uasg.tech/operational-documents/></a>. Download and
read the first three documents there, which have "UASG Election"
and "2023" in their links. <br>
</p>
<p>If you have questions about the candidates or issues, you are
welcome to post questions (as separate threads, with distinct
Subject: lines) to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ua-discuss@icann.org">ua-discuss@icann.org</a> . <br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
