[Ftffacilitationteam] Re: Communications and website

Hi,



Thanks, Ana.  Hi Chona and others, on our call today as Ana stated, Ciara from the new media and communications team (created in or right after Montevideo) was reporting on stuff during the Mobilization call as well as the GCAP Ambassadors team call which came right after the Mob call. It seems the major information flow for communications and media is now with this new task force. I agree that we need to cover that call and that perhaps, you-Chona, can continue the work through this task force which is very active right now.  We have to be ever-vigilant if not our work seems to disappear or get tucked away.  I would be working closely with you, Chona, on the Mob Task Force since there is some overlap.  Chona, please let US know tonight if you can make the call.

Let me update you all quickly on the Mob Task Force and Ambassadors group. 

The Ambassadors group is a subset of the Mob Task Force and we are looking at naming some high profile and "not as high profile yet just as important- "unsung" heroes/people living in poverty/grassroots activists" as ambassadors/spokespersons for the mobilizations.  I am making a call to request names for the UNSUNG HEROES/GRASSROOTS AMBASSADORS, particularly people from the South who are good, strong speakers, living in poverty or having been l-i-pov, activist for poverty eradication or an associated issue, e.g. education to get people out of poverty or job training.  We need to have a list by June 15, so this give us about 2 1/2 weeks.  I would like to say we need the names by June 12th for us to review names and then present them to the Ambassadors group.

There will be TWO websites---one will continue as whiteband.org for a more regional or national focus, with constituencies feeding into it.  Henri is in charge of this one.  The other will be the Stand Up, Speak Out in collaboration with the UNMillennium Campaign for the Oct. 17th mobilization.  These require gender equality input.  I was suggesting to Ana that our SLOGAN/LOGO:  "GENDER EQUALITY TO END POVERTY" be placed on the Stand Up and that we maintain our FTF GCAP logo on the other.  

We need to have INFORMATION ON EVENTS/PANELS/DEMONSTRATIONS around women's activism for the G-8 Meeting.  Thanks for those who have sent something.  If you have anything, please send it to forward to Henri (his civicus e-mail is out of service for a week--all of the civicus e-mails in fact.  Mail to hvalot en yahoo.fr ).  

This is all, my friends.  Take care,

Rosa

Dear Chona,
e just had a call of some members of the Facilitation team and Rosa 
eported on the meeting she just had on mobilisation.
here is a concern on our side that for the stand up mobilisation gender 
essages are not present. This is also reflected on the website. As you all 
ertainly recall, in the old website there was a whole section on the FTF to 
hich you could access by clicking on our logo (FTF: gender equality to end 
overty). In the new webiste there is no link. In fact, the logo of the FTF 
s no where to be found.
s the representative of the FTF in the communications team Chona, we think 
ou should ask those responsible for the website to ensure that there is a 
ink to the FTF as there used to be. This is very important. You should also 
nsure that the mobilisations that are being prepared for October 17 include 
ender messages as agreed upon by the FTF in our various meetings.
CAP is growing in groups and task forces and we must ensure that we are 
epresented where we need to be. As the representative to the e-
ommunications team, we think Chona that you should also represent us at the 
edia team, as they are doing very similar work.
 look forweard to your comments Chona so we can see how we move from here 
o ensure our presence back at the website and at the main GCAP 
obilisations. Thanks!!!
na
