<p>Nabil:</p>
<p>Thank you for your reply.<br>
</p>
<p>The UASG leadership is requiring SOIs, so the UASG leadership
should take responsibility for the process. It may be that they
delegated the writing of the form questions to ICANN people, but
in my opinion they retain responsibility for understanding the
result, and being able to explain it. <br>
</p>
<p>Somebody from UASG will read the submitted SOIs. How will that
person interpret "Material Interest in ICANN UASG Governance"?</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>

<p>Do you have any type of material interest in ICANN

[Yes] [No]<br>
</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>What does "material interest" mean? What kind of
"governance and policy recommendations and outcomes" does
this question refer to?</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. <br>
</p>
<p>So, "Yes", I do have a "type of material interest" in
"UASG governance and policy recommendations and outcomes"?</p>
<p>But I have a feeling that is not what the question asks.
<br>
</p>
<p>Could someone who commissioned this SOI form please
explain what this question means? What problem is it
trying to solve?<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
