Dear AFRALO Community, I hope this email finds you well. As part of our AFRALO Universal Acceptance Day, Dr Matogoro and I will be moderating a session titled: "Technology Adoption – Featuring AFRALO ALS's Adoption Experiences." The session will focus on how At-Large Structures (ALS's) across Africa are adopting Universal Acceptance (UA) and the impact it has had on their communities. We are inviting ALSs to share their experiences with UA adoption, whether successes, challenges, or ongoing efforts. Your input will help highlight the role of local internet advocacy groups in promoting a more inclusive, multilingual internet. We are particularly looking for: - Short case studies from ALSs - Success stories or lessons learned - Challenges faced and how they were addressed If your ALS has a story to share, please reply to this email by 18th April 2025, and I will follow up with you on the next steps. You can reach out to me directly via email at *mutegekicliff@gmail.com*, or reply on the AFRALO mailing list. Your participation will enrich the discussion and provide valuable insights to other ALSs working toward *UA adoption in Africa*. Looking forward to your responses!
