>  Dear friends,
>
> Am back in New York after days in Portugal for the Global Foundation and
> Global Council meetings.  They were very productive meetings and am
thrilled
> to inform that the FTF was well involved in the meetings.  I will send
> highlights separately but for now, I would like to forward information
> regarding the follow-up to the UN Conference on the Financial and Economic
> Crisis and its Impact on Development which took place this past June.  As a
> follow-up mechanism to that Conference which we FTF are following, the
> President of the General Assembly(PGA) D'Escoto Brockman has proposed an Ad
> Hoc Open Ended Working Group to attend to the work and proposals of the
> Outcome Document of that Conference (not to be repetitive, please see the
> details in the message below.)  The group is meeting today for the first
> time.  At the moment, there is no formal mechanism for civil society/NGO
> intervention.  The Global Social Economy Group / Global Crisis Group is
> proposing that a letter be sent to President D'Escoto and the upcoming
(PGA)
> to include CSOs/NGOs in the work of the Working Group.  I am proposing that
> the Feminist Task Force be a signatory to the letter and unless I hear
> otherwise, I will add our name to the list tomorrow (deadline is Thursday
> COB in NY).
>
> If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to skype me, call me or
> write me.
>
> Warm regards to you all,
>
> Rosa

> This is by way of an update on important developments at the UN, giving
> particular attention to those items that relate to the outcome of the June
> Conference on the Crisis.  Recalling paragraph 54 of the June Conference
> Outcome Document which called on the General Assembly (GA) to establish an
> Ad Hoc Open Ended Working Group of the GA to follow up issues contained in
> the Outcome Document, we can report that the process is underway. Notably,
> on 31 July, the GA agreed to establish the Working Group. The President of
> the 63rd GA, Father D’Escoto, recently appointed (and they have agreed to
> serve) H.E. Mr. Lazarous Kapambwe, Permanent Representative of Zambia and
> H.E. Mr. Morten Wetland, Permanent Representative of Norway as co-Chairs of
> the Ad Hoc Working Group. (see PGA letter attached). The first meeting of
> the Working Group will take place at the UN on Wednesday 9 September 2009
at
> 11am in Conference Room 4.  We will be following this meeting and reporting
> on any key developments.

>
> Also, you may recall that Martin Tsounkeu had suggested on 11 August that
> we write a letter directly to the Office of the President of the General
> Assembly requesting some sort of consultative arrangement to ensure
> continuing involvement of Civil Society Organizations and NGO’s in the
> Working Group.  Taking up on this very important suggestion, we have
> prepared a letter to be presented to both the outgoing President of the 63
> rd GA, and the incoming President of the 64th GA, (Mr. Ali Abdussalam
> Treki – Libya), who will take over on Tuesday 15 September 2009.  We
> attach the letter for your review, comment, and sign on.  Given the short
> time available, and the critical importance of this initiative for staying
> engaged in the follow-up process, we would request that you refrain from
> suggested modifications or restrict them to the minimum.
>
> We seek organizational, not individual sign-ons. Please indicate whether
> your organization agrees to sign-on, and provide the exact organizational
> details
