One year ago today, the Coalition on Digital Impact (#CODI ) was launched with a mission of ensuring everyone can navigate the Internet in their own language, using their own scripts. My employer, @internetsociety , was among the founding members. 🎉

I've since joined CODI's Board of Directors as I do see this as critical work to deliver on the Internet Society's vision that the #Internet is for everyone!

CODI

On 4 April, ISOC Hyderabad hosted UA Day 2026 at Microsoft Gachibowli — India's only Universal Acceptance event of the year, backed by ICANN. Speakers from government, industry, UNESCO, and academia made the case for multilingual Internet adoption, including a live demo creating domain names and email in Telugu script. 2026 was framed as the start of the "decade of action." 400+ registrations and 300+ attendees.

I had posted once about the need of some annual action for the promotion of an open source and decentralised Internet. I have found that there was an attempt to introduce the #InternetFreedomDay, held at 18th of January to commemorate the victory in the case of #sopapipa acts in the USA. I think that the #fediverse totally corresponds with the ideas of that day, so it would be good occasion to revive it. What do you think about?

There should be an annual social action promoting the open source and decentralised Internet. #fediverse #opensource #internet4all

#UASG is not on Mastodon, so I thought I’d take the liberty of reposting their message. Some IT people may have not yet heard about this initiative. Happy reading!
