<p>I am filling out the UASG Statement of Interest (SOI) form (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/uasg.tech/join__;!!PtGJab4!71mVfMQ6osvHn6XHXw39iez9JtKnnXL4WIMkdEA5Iik0cHaeOlTvS8mOp5e-5BD7jEw3wkww3qZnDvkG1KTyXWwetsO0$">https://uasg.tech/join [uasg.tech]</a>),
and I do not know what this phrase means:<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<p class="MsoNormal">Material Interest in ICANN UASG Governance<span class="css-skcghl">*</span>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div id="description_select_input_Material_Interest_in_ICANN_UASG_Governance">
<p>Do you have any type of material interest in ICANN UASG governance and policy recommendations and outcomes?<br>
<br>
[Yes] [No]<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>What does "material interest" mean? What kind of "governance and policy recommendations and outcomes" does this question refer to?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I mean, I volunteer time to work on UASG activities. I have a limited amount of time left in my life, so each hour is valuable. It is important to me to spend those hours well. So, I think I have a "material interest" on UASG "governance" creating ways
to use those hours to actually advance universal acceptance advance, rather than slog through bureaucratic exercises. So I have a great interest in UASG governance being effective, and in UASG policy leading to outcomes like more universal acceptance, not
just more reports. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So, "Yes", I do have a "type of material interest" in "UASG governance and policy recommendations and outcomes"?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But I have a feeling that is not what the question asks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Could someone who commissioned this SOI form please explain what this question means? What problem is it trying to solve?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
