===UA DAY===
* March 28 was the UA Day for 2023 Around the world UA events were held to rally local, regional, and global communities and organizations to spread Universal Acceptance awareness and to encourage UA adoption with key stakeholders. The events consisted of UA training, awareness, and strategy sessions led by the UASG, ICANN, global partners, and regional and local organizations. Although the main day was March 28, organizations began holding events as early as 22/02/2023 (a UA Hackathon led by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of the Kingdom of Bahrain in Manama, Bahrain, which lasted three days) and as late as 05/09/2023 (the Celebration of Universal Acceptance Day Training Session in Laos run by the Lao National Internet Center in the Ministry of Technology and Communications of Laos). By far, Africa and the Asia/Pacific region held the most events, 20 and 21, respectively. North America and Europe held the fewest, hosting two events each. The participation level of Latin America and the Caribbean fell in the middle with 11 events.<ref>[https://uasg.tech/ua-day/ UA Day 2023, UASG]</ref>
