Dear UA Comms WG members, One year has passed since I was elected as a Comms WG Chair and now my term comes to its end. During 2022 I will be involved in local projects more intensively, so I won’t have enough time to continue work in the Chair’s role, although I hope to keep some participation in WG activities and calls so far. I want to believe it was a productive and fruitful year for Comms WG. We successfully completed FY21 and have initiated realization of all planned activities which should be completed in time by the end of FY22. The Comms WG has started to spread the UASG Newsletter, keep an eye on UA events and publications worldwide, prepare the first social media paid campaign, website re-design and SEO audit, work on UASG content matrix to better organize its dissemination among the key stakeholder groups and strategic comms plan. We have begun to collaborate with other working groups on joint activities through sub-groups such as on Explainer Videos and IGF platforms. Of course, there are else many things to be done and achieved by Comms WG but we have worked on basements and made some progress. I would like to say many thanks to those WG members and staff who actively participate in our calls, provide their expertise and efforts and volunteer into the operational work of UA Comms WG. It was awesome to work with your, to learn from you and make brainstorming together. Please, keep doing it! 😊 To make the transition smooth and seamless, I am planning to finalize some of taken WG tasks in January-February and would be happy to share my experience with a new-elected UA Comms WG Chair, if needed. Thank you once again to those who supported me and provided the chance to get along this one-year Chair’s journey. Yours truly, Maria Kolesnikova
