Dear Working Group members, As you may know, ICANN fulfilled its commitment to support the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) for a decade, celebrating the UASG's 10 years of work at ICANN83<https://icann83.sched.com/event/246ZQ/celebrating-10-years-of-uasg-and-movi…> in Prague in June 2025. To commemorate this milestone, ICANN also published a report<https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/UASG-10-Year-and-2025-UA-Readi…> highlighting the UASG's achievements. Moving forward, the mailing lists managed by ICANN for the UASG will be deactivated and archived. This means they will no longer be available for new communications. Please note that all past emails will remain publicly accessible online for reference. For the latest UA-related news from ICANN, please visit https://icann.org/ua, and follow ICANN official channels and the hashtags #Internet4All and #UADay. It has been a pleasure working with you, and on behalf of ICANN, thank you once again for your many contributions toward a UA-ready world. Sincerely, Seda Akbulut UA Program Senior Manager Global Domains and Strategy Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

*Dear Seda,* I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my keen interest in joining the *Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG)* and contributing to its important work on advancing Universal Acceptance globally. As you know, I have been actively engaged in the Internet governance ecosystem for many years, including leading initiatives in Bangladesh such as the *Bangladesh Internet Governance Forum (BIGF)*, *bdSIG*, and various awareness programs related to *UA Day* and *.বাংলা adoption*. Given my continued commitment to promoting a multilingual Internet and addressing the challenges of Universal Acceptance in developing regions, I would be honored if you could kindly include my name in the process of becoming a UASG member. I am confident that my experience, particularly with *community engagement, awareness building, and advocacy for local language domains and EAI*, would allow me to contribute effectively to the Steering Group’s objectives. Please let me know the next steps or any formal requirements to complete this process. Thank you very much for your kind consideration. I look forward to your guidance and support. With warm regards, *Mohammad Abdul Haque Anu* Member, APRALO – ICANN At-Large Community *Anu* -------------------------- *Mohammad Abdul Haque* *Secretary General | Bangladesh Internet Governance Forum |* *Member** | **MSG** | **Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum** |* *Executive Editor | The Monthly Computer Jagat |* *Chairman **| Arpon Communication Limited |* *General Body Member** | FBCCI ** |*
