[Ftffacilitationteam] RE: FTF Facilitation meeting in March

[Nerea Craviotto]

Dear Rosa, and all,

I should be going to NY, but I don't know yet on which dates, but I guess I
will be there during the weekend of the 1st-2nd. In that case, I should be
able to joint the meeting. Hope to see most of you! All the best, Nerea

  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
