Dear All,<br>
<br>
As we have many repeating requests from different members of UASG asking who is who in this mailing list, probably it's the right time for UASG to set a special procedure for all members to download their Statement of Interest before joining the group. It could
be done through Google form or any similar tool and all SOI should be published on the uasg.tech with annual update (before each election process).<br>
<br>
Hope it helps.<br>
<br>
Maria<br>

https://uasg.tech/about/people/</a> today, I now think that ensuring a conflict of interest is crucial for every leadership role. I was shocked to learn that many people hold numerous leadership roles within the UASG. How are these leadership positions, such
as vice chair of the UASG, chair of one working group, vice chair of another working group, and UA ambassadors, justified? What is happening is that UASG is not abiding by the conflict of interest policies and procedures. How can one person justify holding
so many different positions at once? Is there not enough community support for UASG's leadership positions, shortage of right candidates?<br>
