Dear Ana, Rosa
Regrets for the confusion caused by the Asian representation. To be honest,
many Asian colleagues have been persuading me to send in a request as an FTF
rep to Montevideo since day 1. However I felt it would be appropriate for me
to attend as a national coalition rep. and not to eat up the few spaces
available to the FTF. I have also responded to my colleagues several times
over the last month on this line. It was only when there was the possibility
of the additional opening that i have placed the suggestion for inclusion,
so that all concerned are also satisfied that the representation from Asia
has atleast been placed on board.
The most important achievement, the way I see it, however is that it now
opens the space for a formal and institutional relationship between the FTF
and one of the largest regional coalitions in GCAP - with the Asia IFT now
having formally recognized Chona and myself as regional co-ordination points
to the FTF. I see this as an important step forward, and added value for the
processes and initiatives across the year, beyond the matter of
representations to Montevideo,
I have been confirmed as a national coalition representative, and I believe
through recent developments Chona's participation has also been secured over
the last two days. I am sure she will agree with me that we both look
forward to the FTF interaction in Montevideo.
Best regards,
Lysa John, WNTA
