    <p>You may not be aware, Jeff, but you are not only an observer, but
      rather a voting member of the group by default. That puts you in
      the position of being directly involved in the policy generation
      and outcomes of the UASG, whether you are actively pursuing that
      or not. Think of the UASG as one huge ICANN Working Group for
      practical purposes (I am not saying it is one, but I am saying in
      practice that's the closest comparison). Therefore, mailing list
      participants need to have a SOI.</p>

        FYI, the GNSO requires SOIs only from those that participate in
        a working group and not those (like me) that merely observe the
        mailing list.  If I want to be an active participant then I
        should have to submit an SOI.  And that SOI should be the same
        as the SOIs for all other working groups.   I have no issue with
        submitting as SOI, but shouldn't I just have to give you the
        link to where it already is?  I don't want to have to update
        multiple SOIs every time something changes.</div>
