Call for Volunteers: AFRALO UA Day 2026 Proposal Team
*Dear AFRALO Community,* I hope this message finds you well. ICANN has opened the call for proposals for UA Day 2026, with events scheduled to take place between 25 March and 30 May 2026. This presents a wonderful opportunity for AFRALO to once again take a leading role in advancing Universal Acceptance (UA) and digital inclusion across our region. I would therefore like to form a small team to develop and submit an AFRALO-led proposal for UA Day 2026. The team will work collaboratively to design an engaging, impactful event concept that highlights Africa’s contributions to promoting a multilingual and inclusive Internet. If you are interested on being a part of this team, please add your name to the team section of this UA Day 2026 Event Tracker. : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBV6PTTYqAjVj4kv49dLevpWr_ItUkM4FixW...

Hello Cliff, Thank you for this. Just asking, does this eliminate country-level engagements, as some of us had already taken steps in drafting a proposal? Thank you Patrick Kiiza On Tue, Oct 28, 2025 at 9:10 AM Mutegeki Cliff via AFRI-Discuss < afri-discuss@icann.org> wrote:

Dear AFRALO Community,
I hope this message finds you well.
ICANN has opened the call for proposals for UA Day 2026, with events scheduled to take place between 25 March and 30 May 2026. This presents a wonderful opportunity for AFRALO to once again take a leading role in advancing Universal Acceptance (UA) and digital inclusion across our region.
I would therefore like to form a small team to develop and submit an AFRALO-led proposal for UA Day 2026. The team will work collaboratively to design an engaging, impactful event concept that highlights Africa’s contributions to promoting a multilingual and inclusive Internet.
If you are interested on being a part of this team, please add your name to the team section of this UA Day 2026 Event Tracker. : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBV6PTTYqAjVj4kv49dLevpWr_ItUkM4FixW...

Dear All, First and foremost, thank you to Mutegeki, AFRALO UA expert and coordinator. Please accept my apology for not being able to join the previous calls. I have put some minor comments on the document, the most important of which is related to the financial support. AFRALO is not a legal entity and thus cannot ask or receive any kind of financial support. For all the past AFRALO UA Days we have requested no financial support and have received none. ICANN provides the zoom links as well as the web pages which are created and supported by ICANN, so we need not worry about this. Before submission we need to organize a call with Sarmad and the Africa GSE team. The Africa GSE team can help AFRALO ALSs whose websites are based on WordPress become UA ready and thus we can showcase this on the day, Sarmad also has a proposal related to UNESCO, ICANN has a partnership with UNESCO. I will try to schedule a call as soon as possible, using a doodle poll if possible. See you soon. Hadia On Mon, 3 Nov 2025 at 12:58, Mutegeki Cliff via AFRI-Discuss < afri-discuss@icann.org> wrote:

Dear All, First and foremost, thank you to Mutegeki, AFRALO UA expert and coordinator. Please accept my apology for not being able to join the previous calls. I have put some minor comments on the document, the most important of which is related to the financial support. AFRALO is not a legal entity and thus cannot ask or receive any kind of financial support. For all the past AFRALO UA Days we have requested no financial support and have received none. ICANN provides the zoom links as well as the web pages which are created and supported by ICANN, so we need not worry about this.
Before submission we need to organize a call with Sarmad and the Africa GSE team. The Africa GSE team can help AFRALO ALSs whose websites are based on WordPress become UA ready and thus we can showcase this on the day, Sarmad also has a proposal related to UNESCO, ICANN has a partnership with UNESCO.
I will try to schedule a call as soon as possible, using a doodle poll if possible.
See you soon. Hadia

Dear AFRALO Community,
I hope this message finds you well.
ICANN has opened the call for proposals for UA Day 2026, with events scheduled to take place between 25 March and 30 May 2026. This presents a wonderful opportunity for AFRALO to once again take a leading role in advancing Universal Acceptance (UA) and digital inclusion across our region.
I would therefore like to form a small team to develop and submit an AFRALO-led proposal for UA Day 2026. The team will work collaboratively to design an engaging, impactful event concept that highlights Africa’s contributions to promoting a multilingual and inclusive Internet.
If you are interested on being a part of this team, please add your name to the team section of this UA Day 2026 Event Tracker. : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBV6PTTYqAjVj4kv49dLevpWr_ItUkM4FixW...

Hello Hadia, Thanks so much for this insight. I am sure this will help clear the air on what zoom package to invest on. May I ask please, what is the capacity of the zoom provided by ICANN? This might be helpful in deciding how many people to expect to be in attendance. Once again, thank you for your insight. I wish all my cyber neighbors in AFRALO a fruitful week ahead.

Dear All, First and foremost, thank you to Mutegeki, AFRALO UA expert and coordinator. Please accept my apology for not being able to join the previous calls. I have put some minor comments on the document, the most important of which is related to the financial support. AFRALO is not a legal entity and thus cannot ask or receive any kind of financial support. For all the past AFRALO UA Days we have requested no financial support and have received none. ICANN provides the zoom links as well as the web pages which are created and supported by ICANN, so we need not worry about this.
Before submission we need to organize a call with Sarmad and the Africa GSE team. The Africa GSE team can help AFRALO ALSs whose websites are based on WordPress become UA ready and thus we can showcase this on the day, Sarmad also has a proposal related to UNESCO, ICANN has a partnership with UNESCO.
I will try to schedule a call as soon as possible, using a doodle poll if possible.
See you soon. Hadia
