[Ftffacilitationteam] RE: FTF Facilitation meeting in March

[Ballara, Marcela (FAORLC)]

Dear Rosa: Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I am unable to attend
any meeting . I do not have any free   working days from my organization (my
vacations  days finished...). Anyhow please count.  If needed I can provide
with ideas, and support via internet.  
 
 
A suggestion for the FTFmeeting around the theme of financing gender and
poverty eradication agendas  could be  to discuss , by example Climate Change
and its impact on women in the frame of poverty eradication. We have produced
some materials that I can forward for discussions.  This is one idea but of
course we could elaborate other themes that are important to GCAP and FTF.
 
Un abrazo y feliz 2008.
 
Marcela Ballara

	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
