Congratulations to all ! UASG Chair: Dr. Ajay Data UASG Vice-Chair: Eng. Abdelmonen Galila UASG Vice-Chair: Dessalegn Mequanint Yehuala UASG Vice-Chair: Dr. U.B. Pavanaja BTW, I have some questions: 1) Is it possible to highlight/summarize the important work/milestones achieved during last 2 years? 2) What are the UASG's aims for the next 2 years? 3) I remember that in year 2018, UASG discussed the EAI day. Is there still a plan? Some suggestions: If all major softewares/libraries support EAI/IDN, I think that it is a big step to improve the UA environment. If all major email service providers/IDN related service providers support EAI/IDN, I think that we can say UA is almost ready. So I think that for next 2 years, we may use more energy and resource to help/reach major softewares/libraries/sevice providers.

As the UASG charter indicates, the UASG will be “overseen by one Chair and two to three Vice-Chairs who will be appointed to two-year terms.” Interested candidates for the Chair and Vice-Chair positions were asked to submit self-nominations and Statements of Interest by 9 March 2021 (original deadline was extended). The UASG received four nominations – one for Chair and three for Vice-Chair – resulting in an uncontested election. Below are the results.
