Hello Mark Primarily annotate I am not auxiliary to any one candidacy, I am just underlining concerns which are bang up erroneous in working group. You cited that you pushed him and many supported his candidacy but Nitin never actually became Vice-Chair. This declaration is downright immoral. May possibly you see conclusions and broadcast of 22 October 2019 working group meeting notes which yells “Vice-chair selection -The Chair updated that there was only one nomination, Nitin Walia. The members largely seconded the nomination of Nitin and none of the objection. The Chair declared Nitin Walia as the UA EAI WG Vice-chair and he accepted. Nitin thanked members for their supports.” Citations Meeting notes UA EAI WG 20191022.pdf <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/115638935/Meeting%20notes%2...> , GMT20191022 UA-EAI-WG.m4a <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/115638935/GMT20191022-05005...> , https://community.icann.org/display/TUA/UA-EAI+WG Post this proclamation there was no confab in any WG meeting, meeting notes for his denial or Vice-chair vacant position, except days gone by when you popup with Santosh nomination for Vice-chair position. Yet again I standby on my avowal that primarily annotate I am not auxiliary to any one candidacy but pardon I do not sustenance with what is going around in WG.

But if you want a formal email, here it is: Nitin decided he didn’t want to be the Vice Chair.
Regarding T Santosh, I note your dissent.

Dear Mark
I am earnestly astounded to see you Introducing Santosh as a candidate for Vice-Chair of EAI WG. Formerly you announced Nittin Wali as Vice-Chair thru one of our EAI working group calls, later in ICANN66 you mentioned that he personally request you to withdraw however there was no formal email in this regard on working group. What is more is that none of us ever seen any communication or any contribution from Santosh in past in UASG or EAI working group. Its giving a resilient communiqué that present leadership is completely diminishing and forcing régime bureaucrats from India in working group positions for some bestowed curiosity.
Cheers

It is my pleasure to introduce and endorse T Santosh for the role of Vice-Chair for the EAI Working Group.
Some of you probably already know T Santosh, who is Scientist “E” of the Indian Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) tasked with dealing with matters related to Internet Governance, Internet Protocols, Digital Inclusion and Multilingual Internet. In his role as a senior government official, he is very familiar with Universal Acceptance.
In T Santosh’s own words, here are some of his qualifications:
- Actively involved in undertaking activities related to promoting the cause of multilingualism on the Internet in India on behalf of the Government of India. - Actively involved in engaging on behalf of MeitY jointly in partnership with NIXI and C-DAC in order to take up the work related to the representation of Indian Languages in the non-ASCII characters. As a result of this .Bharat is now available in all 22 scheduled languages covering 10 scripts. - Actively involved in leading the cause of dissemination of the efforts multilingual internet ecosystem including Neo-Brahmi Label Generation Panel (NBGP) Members. - Presented as a keynote speaker at several events on multilingualism, organized by ICRIER, C-DAC, etc. speaking on the ways and means of popularizing IDN’s , EAI and Universal Acceptance. - Working actively through various groups and committees at ICANN towards building the rules for secure and stable definition of the top-level domains for scripts used globally, so that people with no knowledge of English are able to go online and access the websites with the Internet domain names completely in their languages. All this is likely to contribute greatly towards Bridging of the Digital Divide and make it easier for the next set of billion new Internet users, a large part of which is going be non-English speakers from India, to access and make use of the Internet in their own local languages. - Involved with the project to Promote Devanagari script on the Internet which is implemented by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), under which we have organized 6 Universal Acceptance Workshops in 6 different states of India.
T Santosh and I were able to chat at length about his work. He also told me about the efforts of NIC.IN <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2FNIC.IN&data...> and C-DAC to develop EAI-compatible email systems. These systems support over 100K government officials! When they are fully upgraded, they will be great showcases for the multi-lingual Internet. I am excited to think that our working group could contribute to their success.
I heartily endorse T Santosh for our Vice Chair role. Please review his qualifications above and communicate your support either privately to me or on the public list.
Thanks!
