Dear Rosa,
You don't need to register me, WIDE has ECOSOC status and I am part of
WIDE's Delegation to the CSW.
Hope to see you all soon. Best, Nerea

  Dear colleagues,

  Thanks, Ana, for sending out this info.  In anticipation of an FTF meeting
in Feb/March for the CSW, I will be registering all FTF members for the CSW.
This needs to be done by Dec. 31st of this year.  Afterwards, it is harder
to register names.  However, we can swap names easier after registering this
year.

  As Ana has said, next year's CSW will be an excellent opportunity for us
to caucus and present findings for the Tribunals in India, Peru and Egypt in
New York, along with some NY groups presenting some findings.  I am
organizing this for late Feb/early March.  The CSW will be held at the
United Nations headquarters in New York from 25 February to 7 March 2008, so
planning ahead is important.  Having the CSW end on March 7th will enable
people to get back to their countries for their March 8th activities
(leaving a few days earlier, of course).  The theme of this year's meeting
is "Financing for Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment" which fits very
well with the GCAP mandate and the FTF focus on gender and poverty.
Beginning on Monday 25 February and Tuesday 26 February 2008 there will be
discussions on the main theme mentioned above.

  To begin to look at dates, I think we should plan to meet as FTF perhaps
the weekend before the CSW starts.  On the Sunday before the CSW there is
always an orientation and meeting rooms are more available.  I'd like to
propose this since I am thinking women would like to head back to their
countries before March 8th.  How does this fit in with others' schedules?

  I am sending a link to the CSW here:
http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/52sess.htm
  If your organization has ECOSOC status, you can pre-register by Dec. 31st.
I would urge you to do so and let me know so I don't have to do that for
you.  Even if you are not sure whether you will be coming, it is good to
pre-register and can be canceled later.  The pre-registration ensures you a
letter from the UN in January for visa purposes.

  I am really excited about these prospects.  The CSW will attract lots of
women from around the world interested in this topic.  As mentioned before,
the FTF is part of a group and facilitating women's organizations'
participation on Financing for Development (aid, trade, debt,
governance/systemic issues).  More information will follow, however these
focus areas are very much in line with our work.  Any and all feedback is
welcomed.  For now, please get back to me on the proposed dates and if you
can pre-register for the CSW.

  Warm regards,

  Rosa
