[Ftffacilitationteam] FTF Facilitation meeting in March

[RosaenCasa en aol.com]

Dear colleagues,
 
Hoping you are all well and with recharged spirits for the new  year!   I'm 
writing to you about the upcoming FTF Facilitation meeting  proposed for March 
1st and 2nd in New York.  I had sent a note back in  December with details 
about the UN Commission for the Status of Women (CSW) and  the opportunity it 
affords for us to meet.  For one, the New York  International Tribunal on Women 
and Poverty is planned for that time and some of  us will be there.  Some are 
already involved in presenting finding from  previous tribunals at this event.  
 
Back in December I preregistered colleagues for the CSW to ensure a spot at  
the meeting.  This would also produce a visa letter for those requiring a  
letter from the UN for those purposes.  At this time, it is important to  know 
who will be coming, who would like to come and if so, what are the concerns  or 
hesitations.  The FTF FT meeting will be held all day March 1 and  2nd.  As 
you know, the CSW will be held at the United Nations  headquarters in New York 
from 25 February to 7 March 2008.  Having the  FTF-FT meeting on March 1 and 
2nd will enable people to get back to their  countries for their March 8th 
activities (leaving a few days earlier, of  course).  
 

Also, you may know 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.  The CSW will provide a  unique 
opportunity to not only show case the tribunal findings, but to network  and 
strategize with other women's groups on the financing gender and poverty  
eradication agendas for meetings later this year.

 
At this time, please confirm your participation at the meeting  by replying 
to this e-mail.  A proposed agenda will be sent  soon.  At the moment, you 
could send agenda items/ideas to  me.  One big issue to be discussed will be the 
future for the  FTF, its FT, the work of GCAP and moving forward.
 
Let's keep the dialogue open.  I very much look forward to hearing  from you 
all and seeing you in March.
 
In peace,
 
Rosa
