Nomination will be by SO and AC. However, the messaging below assumes that we can get some candidates and pass to GNSO council and SSC to select. I will send later message to NCSG list but it would be better to encourage people we think fit for the involvement in the experts WG. Best, Rafik ---------- Forwarded message --------- Dear SG/C Chairs, Further to the message from Russ below, to allow time for the Standing Selection Committee (SSC) to evaluate the UA EWG candidates, the deadline for GNSO Expressions of Interest (EOIs) is *Friday, 13 June 2025*. This provides groups the option of using meetings at ICANN83 to discuss potential candidates, while still allowing time for the SSC to run its selection process. See the criteria in the announcement: https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-call-for-nominations-universal-acceptance-expert-working-group-07-05-2025-en . Please ensure that GNSO candidates submit EOIs to gnso-secs at icann.org no later than *13 June 2025*. Thank you. Kind regards, Terri Policy Team Supporting the GNSO ***** Hello SO/AC Chairs, I hope you are all doing well and getting ready for a productive ICANN83 Policy Forum in Prague! I caught up with Alejandra late last week and will send a note shortly re: our Roundtable Agenda. Before we get to the Roundtable, I wanted to draw your attention to a recent announcement and request for support from the SOAC?s related to a new Universal Acceptance Expert Working Group. ICANN org recently announced a call for nominations for a UA Expert Working Group. The community has been a key contributor for promoting the Universal Acceptance. ICANN is inviting each SO and AC for a nominee for this working group. The working group will help us in achieving a UA-ready world. We recommend that the nominee has expertise in one or more of the following areas: - Technical challenges and solutions for UA - Technical training for promoting the use of IDNs and UA - IDNs and/or Email Address Internationalization - Internet governance or public policy work related to digital inclusion and a multilingual Internet The working group will produce guidelines for ICANN org?s work on UA adoption, which focuses on the following stakeholders: - Big tech organizations - Tech developers and system administrators - DNS industry and related businesses - Internet governance and policy professionals The guidelines developed by the WG will be used by the org as it focuses on implementation and operational efforts to address technical gaps, technical training, and outreach to drive UA adoption. The UA Expert Working Group will develop the guidelines over a period of 9-10 months. After that time the group will be closed, as ICANN org follows up on the guidelines in its UA implementation work. The working group members will attend regular, likely weekly, meetings and a few more hours doing the work that is needed to deliver the guidelines. Community support remains important to achieving UA, and we would very much like to have someone from each SO & AC join this effort. We request you to email the nomination by 25 June 2025 to the UAProgram at icann.org. Thanks, Russ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
