It is neither an SO nor an AC, but an independently chartered entity made up of individuals from both within and external to the ICANN community. It is not policy-focused, nor is its remit restricted to work within ICANN’s bylaws. This gives credence to the idea that it should operate its own SOI process that doesn’t borrow from ICANN’s.<div><br></div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div>

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.</div><div dir="auto" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: 'helvetica'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: 'helvetica'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Best,</div><div dir="auto" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family: 'helvetica'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><br></div><div class="moz-cite-prefix" dir="auto" style="font-family: 'helvetica'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none;">On 21 Mar 2024 11:44, Jeff Neuman via UA-discuss wrote:</div><blockquote style="font-family: 'helvetica'; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none;" type="cite"><div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: 'aptos' , 'aptos_embeddedfont' , 'aptos_msfontservice' , 'calibri' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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?
