<HTML><BODY>
<div>Dear Lysa and Marcela, and colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your input. Lysa, this note in a sense contradicts a previous note from you copied to Marivic and Chona asking for an Asian slot in our final configuration, so very honestly and sincerely I'm a bit confused. I know the selection process for the Asian group has been difficult, however I'm hoping you've been able to solve the representation issue. I am hoping this is an indication on that. I will reply to that note as well separately. At this point, I'd like to know if you will be able to attend. We had understood that you would attend under a national or regional representation. Your input is valued and we hope you have been slotted a space to attend as we previously understood. <SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>Please keep us informed of the situation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Colleagues, PLEASE ADVISE ON THE PROPOSED CONFIGURATION BELOW. We've heard from a few others but need to resolve and finalize the list. Currently----we have 3 Latin American nominees, and we need your input on this. In yesterday's call on the agenda group, the Asian representation asked for one more slot to resolve a difficult representation issue. Rather than open up the issue of number of places and criteria for the Montevideo meeting, we looked at the issue of another meeting organized by the GCAP Secretariat on May 6th to find the extra place for the Asian group. I also expressed that we were facing diffuculty having only 3 slots for 4 proposed regions, and a list longer than we could accomodate. We resolved that the Secretariat meeting would grant spaces for regional reps (2) as well as ONE (1) representative from the task forces. This was not to open lists for more people, and it was discouraged to add more people to the Montevideo meeting, but it helped solve the issue the Asian group raised, and our issue as well to have four spaces. The fourth space would be for that person to attend the May 6th meeting as the FTF representative but could also attend the Montevideo meeting perhaps as an observer. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is a scenario: <SPAN><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Rosa Lizarde, who necessarily has to come as she is a member of the IFT -as my alternate. </FONT></FONT>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Prisca Kambole, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing Southern Africa</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Josephine Kamel, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing Northern Africa</SPAN></div>
</SPAN>If we go with the confirguration Marcela proposed, we still need to address the issue of the LAC representation. I agree that configuration looks good, however we need to address the LAC representation and that was why I mentioned in yesterday's meeting that we needed another slot. In my opinion, with three names proposed by a very active region, we cannot ignore the LAC nominations. It is now granted. I had also requested prior to this that I take the Mobilization Task Force slot, however it was given to another member. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>For now, we have ONLY one more slot, which provides 4 slots to cover the initial proposed regions. The background information I have on the LAC nominees, and Ana, you may have more and add here since you received the nominations and know them from LAC region:</div>
<div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=ES-MX style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Marta Rico, from Flora Tristán, Peru - Flora Tristan is a long-standing and influential LAC women's network and player. They have followed GCAP and have recently expressed more of an interest to continue the process. They will be replacing one of our most active members in Peru on the FTF, whom you all know is leaving in August--Luisa Cruz Hefti. Obviously, it has received her strong endorsement. They have submitted their name in a timely manner. </SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=ES-MX style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Susana Checa, from FOCO, Argentina - FOCO is an Argentinian women's organization that has been actively involved in national efforts of GCAP. Initially they submitted Barbara Caletti and then recently changed the name to the current. ANA - would you like to add more here?</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=ES-MX style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Marianela Carvajal Diaz, de GCAP - RD - Marianela's nomination was recent, however she and her organization, a women's org/network from the Dominican Republic has been very active in GCAP and mobilizations over the years. Marianela served previously on the Mobilization Task Force and attended the Beirut meeting. She's also very involved in youth activities and represents that consituency as well.</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div>
</div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">I support Marcela's proposed scenario and would support the representative of Flora Tristan or GCAP-RD, perhaps more inclined to Flora. I do not know Marta Rico but know Flora Tristan very well. My dream scenario is to have Marianela represented on the Mobilization Task Force, if at all possible, or the youth task force, and have Susana Checa from FOCO supported by both her organization and the FTF since she is in a neighboring country, Argentina, to Uruguay. This is a DREAM scenario---which I might add includes the participation of Lysa John through the process we just adopted yesterday. We need to ensure both Lysa and Chona attend the meeting.</div>
<div style="CLEAR: both"> </div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">Furthermore, I agree with Lysa to have a count of who will be going from the FTF and organize a time and place for the women's caucus we resolved to do in Montevideo back in Nairobi. </div>
<div style="CLEAR: both"> </div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">I await your input.</div>

<div id=AOLMsgPart_3_45560d7a-e23c-4f4d-a26b-9ff2b042308a>Dear Rosa, all<br>
I agree with Marcela suggestion on the 3 people who could be prioritized. <br>
It would also be good to do a count in the coming week of the total no. of FTF members who would be able to make it finally to Montevideo (through various forums) and explore if it is possible to fix some time for an interaction in Montevideo - particularly in context of Ana's role as the host. <br>
Best, Lysa<br>

</FONT></div>
<div>Dear colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you've followed the process you know that we are in a bind in terms of finalizing the list of attendees to the Montevideo meeting. If we stick with the deadline, we need to decide today! HOWEVER, WE HAVE ASKED FOR AN EXTENSION UNTIL MONDAY. Currently we have more nominees than slots and are trying to be creative with spaces. We will, however, need your help to decide ultimately who will come. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I AM ASKING FOR A FEW VOLUNTEERS TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND TRY TO COME TO SOME RESOLUTION. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In particular, there are three nominees for Latin America and the Caribbean. These are very involved groups and we need a small group to come together via skype or e-mail and prioritize the list, HOPEFULLY TODAY, TONIGHT IF ANYONE IS AVAILABLE, IF NOT TOMORROW 3:00PM GMT. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>PLEASE SEND WORD IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. </div>
<div>As per the most recent communication, these are the final nominees:</div>
<div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Rosa Lizarde, who necessarily has to come as she is a member of the IFT -as my alternate. </SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Prisca Kambole, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing Southern Africa</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Josephine Kamel, member of the facilitation team of the FTF representing Northern Africa</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=ES-MX style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Marta Rico, from Flora Tristán, Peru</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=ES-MX style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Susana Checa, from FOCO, Argentina</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=ES-MX style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">- Marianela Carvajal Diaz, de GCAP - RD</SPAN><SPAN lang=ES-MX></SPAN></div>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>Regarding the number of slots, we currently have 3 for the FTF and possibly one more through other more recent creative resolutions. This would then leave 4 for representation based on the criteria set for previous meetings, including: regional representation, expertise, involvement/activities in FTF, visibility on GCAP list serves.</div>
PRISCA AND JOSEPHINE, I WOULD ASK YOU TO REFRAIN SINCE YOUR NAMES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED. <SPAN></SPAN></div>
<div>SO PLEASE SEND YOUR MESSAGE IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS TASK.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
