Dear Rosa:
Knowing very well Flora Tristan work in Latin American region, and
considering the fact that, sadly, Luisa from Peru is living in August, I
would suggest to consider Flora Tristan as one of the LA participants.
Flora Trisan is a settled , well known and with historic links with most of
the LA women movement and NGo's.
Unfortunatelly I am not to much informed, beside the kindly information
proposed by Rosa , of the other proposals .
Best regards
Marcela B.

URGENT
Dear Lysa and Marcela, and colleagues,
Thank you for your input. Lysa, this note in a sense contradicts a previous
note from you copied to Marivic and Chona asking for an Asian slot in our
final configuration, so very honestly and sincerely I'm a bit confused. I
know the selection process for the Asian group has been difficult, however
I'm hoping you've been able to solve the representation issue. I am hoping
this is an indication on that. I will reply to that note as well separately.
At this point, I'd like to know if you will be able to attend. We had
understood that you would attend under a national or regional representation.
Your input is valued and we hope you have been slotted a space to attend as
we previously understood. Please keep us informed of the situation.
Colleagues, PLEASE ADVISE ON THE PROPOSED CONFIGURATION BELOW. We've heard
from a few others but need to resolve and finalize the list. Currently----we
have 3 Latin American nominees, and we need your input on this. In
yesterday's call on the agenda group, the Asian representation asked for one
more slot to resolve a difficult representation issue. Rather than open up
the issue of number of places and criteria for the Montevideo meeting, we
looked at the issue of another meeting organized by the GCAP Secretariat on
May 6th to find the extra place for the Asian group. I also expressed that
we were facing diffuculty having only 3 slots for 4 proposed regions, and a
list longer than we could accomodate. We resolved that the Secretariat
meeting would grant spaces for regional reps (2) as well as ONE (1)
representative from the task forces. This was not to open lists for more
people, and it was discouraged to add more people to the Montevideo meeting,
but it helped solve the issue the Asian group raised, and our issue as well
to have four spaces. The fourth space would be for that person to attend the
May 6th meeting as the FTF representative but could also attend the
Montevideo meeting perhaps as an observer.
Here is a scenario: Rosa Lizarde, who necessarily has to come as she is a
member of the IFT -as my alternate.
- Prisca Kambole, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing
Southern Africa
- Josephine Kamel, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing
Northern Africa
If we go with the confirguration Marcela proposed, we still need to address
the issue of the LAC representation. I agree that configuration looks good,
however we need to address the LAC representation and that was why I
mentioned in yesterday's meeting that we needed another slot. In my opinion,
with three names proposed by a very active region, we cannot ignore the LAC
nominations. It is now granted. I had also requested prior to this that I
take the Mobilization Task Force slot, however it was given to another
member.
For now, we have ONLY one more slot, which provides 4 slots to cover the
initial proposed regions. The background information I have on the LAC
nominees, and Ana, you may have more and add here since you received the
nominations and know them from LAC region:
- Marta Rico, from Flora Tristán, Peru - Flora Tristan is a long-standing and
influential LAC women's network and player. They have followed GCAP and have
recently expressed more of an interest to continue the process. They will be
replacing one of our most active members in Peru on the FTF, whom you all
know is leaving in August--Luisa Cruz Hefti. Obviously, it has received her
strong endorsement. They have submitted their name in a timely manner.
- Susana Checa, from FOCO, Argentina - FOCO is an Argentinian women's
organization that has been actively involved in national efforts of GCAP.
Initially they submitted Barbara Caletti and then recently changed the name
to the current. ANA - would you like to add more here?
- Marianela Carvajal Diaz, de GCAP - RD - Marianela's nomination was recent,
however she and her organization, a women's org/network from the Dominican
Republic has been very active in GCAP and mobilizations over the years.
Marianela served previously on the Mobilization Task Force and attended the
Beirut meeting. She's also very involved in youth activities and represents
that consituency as well.
I support Marcela's proposed scenario and would support the representative of
Flora Tristan or GCAP-RD, perhaps more inclined to Flora. I do not know
Marta Rico but know Flora Tristan very well. My dream scenario is to have
Marianela represented on the Mobilization Task Force, if at all possible, or
the youth task force, and have Susana Checa from FOCO supported by both her
organization and the FTF since she is in a neighboring country, Argentina, to
Uruguay. This is a DREAM scenario---which I might add includes the
participation of Lysa John through the process we just adopted yesterday. We
need to ensure both Lysa and Chona attend the meeting.
Furthermore, I agree with Lysa to have a count of who will be going from the
FTF and organize a time and place for the women's caucus we resolved to do in
Montevideo back in Nairobi.
I await your input.
Abrazos,
Rosa

Dear Rosa, all
I agree with Marcela suggestion on the 3 people who could be prioritized.
It would also be good to do a count in the coming week of the total no. of
FTF members who would be able to make it finally to Montevideo (through
various forums) and explore if it is possible to fix some time for an
interaction in Montevideo - particularly in context of Ana's role as the
host.
Best, Lysa

The three of them have been very much involved sinc e some tine in GCAP and
FTF. To my knowledge the 3 persons from LA have recentrly been incorporated
to the FTF. I am right or wrong ? and this situation could be less
interesting to be proposed as participants
But sadly , prioritization to participate should also be considered
according to the budget availabe ( tickets from Africa are quite expensive)
and language issues ( are there translations facilirties ?.
Best regards
Marcela

Dear colleagues,
If you've followed the process you know that we are in a bind in terms of
finalizing the list of attendees to the Montevideo meeting. If we stick with
the deadline, we need to decide today! HOWEVER, WE HAVE ASKED FOR AN
EXTENSION UNTIL MONDAY. Currently we have more nominees than slots and are
trying to be creative with spaces. We will, however, need your help to
decide ultimately who will come.
I AM ASKING FOR A FEW VOLUNTEERS TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND TRY TO COME TO
SOME RESOLUTION.
In particular, there are three nominees for Latin America and the Caribbean.
These are very involved groups and we need a small group to come together via
skype or e-mail and prioritize the list, HOPEFULLY TODAY, TONIGHT IF ANYONE
IS AVAILABLE, IF NOT TOMORROW 3:00PM GMT.
PLEASE SEND WORD IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
As per the most recent communication, these are the final nominees:
- Rosa Lizarde, who necessarily has to come as she is a member of the IFT -as
my alternate.
- Prisca Kambole, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing
Southern Africa
- Josephine Kamel, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing
Northern Africa
- Marta Rico, from Flora Tristán, Peru
- Susana Checa, from FOCO, Argentina
- Marianela Carvajal Diaz, de GCAP - RD
Regarding the number of slots, we currently have 3 for the FTF and possibly
one more through other more recent creative resolutions. This would then
leave 4 for representation based on the criteria set for previous meetings,
including: regional representation, expertise, involvement/activities in FTF,
visibility on GCAP list serves.
PRISCA AND JOSEPHINE, I WOULD ASK YOU TO REFRAIN SINCE YOUR NAMES HAVE BEEN
PROPOSED.
SO PLEASE SEND YOUR MESSAGE IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS TASK.
Best regards,
Rosa
