Dear all,

UASG Leadership Team drafted the “Five-Year Strategic Plan for UASG” in achieving UA goals. The plan will be further consulted to the community at a dedicated session at ICANN78.

Please kindly review the plan and share your inputs what actions should each UASG Working Group (Measurement, EAI,Comms,Tech WGs) take in the next 5 years.

As we do annual action plan for UASG, this time, we are kindly asking each WG to come up with a 5-year action plan.

This topic will be included in the upcoming UASG WG recurring meetings. The timeline for this planning process is shared in the table below.

Accordingly, each WG should aim to finalize their 5-year action plan by 31 December 2023.
