<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Rosa, dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the budget proposed by Rosa still looks reasonable,
even if it goes beyond a bit what we have received. We can always try to save on
some of the items to cover others. But my main concern is that I have not
received the budgets from the other regions. I think that on the basis of the
limits we have (which by the way, are not low) Josephine, Martha and our
colleagues in Asia should be sending their own budgets. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear friends, queridas amigas (español
abajo)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Following Lysa's message I think it will be
possible for Rosa and myself to develop a concept on the basis of what we have
included in the general proposal. I have to coordinate with Rosa
and we will agree when we will be sending it to you all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In terms of budget, you will certainly recall
that we had asked for USD 122.000 to implement all what we have agreed upon at
the Nairobi meeting. We have received USD 50.000 and in one of our calls we
decided that we would prioritise the Women's Tribunal. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have prepared now a new
budget which I am sending for your comments. We will need later
to do more fundraising for the other plans that need to be left out for
the time being, like the evaluation meeting, but at this stage we need to make
sure that we can implement the tribunals in the four planned
locations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have basically kept the budget for the New York
tribunal, only taking out one witness from the South (there were originally
two and now there is one, as there will be other tribunal taking place in
the South). Then I assigned funds for each of the other three tribunals,
giving a bit more to India as there has been clear indication that you
will be working as a region. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would very much appreciate your comments,
tell me if you think this distribution makes sense, if you have any other
suggestions. I would very much appreciate it if you ALL answer, so we can move
forward with the preparations. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to all!!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ana</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Amigas,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ha habido un intercambio fluido entre las
compañeras de Asia que desean hacer el tribunal de mujeres contra la
pobreza como una actividad regional, con base en India. Debajo hay una larga
carta de Lysa. En respuesta a esa carta, le envío este mensaje que traduzco a
continuación:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Siguiendo el mensaje de Lysa, creo que sí es
posible que Rosa y yo desarrollemos un concepto sobre el tribunal sobre la
base de lo que incluimos en la propuesta general para la actividad
del ETF. Tengo que coordinar con Rosa y nos pondremos
de acuerdo respecto a </FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>cuándo lo
podemos enviar. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>En cuanto al presupuesto, seguramente recordarán
que habíamos pedido USD 122.000 para llevar adelante todas las actividades
acordadas en la reunión de Nairobi y sólo recibimos USD 50.000. En una de
nuestras llamadas decidimos priorizar el Tribunal de Mujeres contra la
Pobreza. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Preparé un nuevo presupuesto que les estoy
enviando para que me hagan llegar comentarios. Más adelante deberemos buscar
más fondos para las otras actividades que por el momento han quedado afuera,
como la reunión de evaluación, pero por el momento lo importante es
asegurarnos que podremos realizar los tribunales en los cuatro lugares
previstos. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Básicamente he mantenido el presupuesto del
tribunal de Nueva York, excepto que eliminé uno de los testigos del sur (eran
dos y ahora queda una sola persona, en tanto va a haber otros tribunales en
países del sur). Luego asigné fondos para cada uno de los otros tres
tribunales, otorgándole un poco más de fondos a India en tanto ha habido
claras indicaciones de que trabajarán para que sea de carácter regional.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Les agradecería mucho vuestros comentarios, que
me digan si les parece que esta propuesta de distribución tiene sentido, si
tienen otras sugerencias. Les agradecería enormemente que TODAS me contestaran
para que podamos avanzar en nuestros preparativos. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Muchas gracias desde ya,</FONT></DIV>

Issue 25</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Ana, Rosa, Pam & Chona<BR><BR>Hello again! Just to
update that I have put forward our proposal to support the organizing of the
IWTP on October 17th to the Steering Group and would be hearing from them by
the end of this week. However there are few more details that we need to
work on to be able to plan towards the proposed event: <BR><BR>1. Concept:
As you have mentioned in your mail to Nisha, it would be important to have a
concept note that outlines the overall issues, objectives, and expected
outcomes of the IWPTs and serves as the basis for the efforts in each
region. I wonder if it would be possible for Ana & Rosa to develop a 1-2
page background that can be adapted to the context of each region? For
instance, Pam could take the lead in facilitating an Asia Core Group which
can detail the politics and profile of the IWPT in Asia and develop a
guiding document for the region accordingly? <BR><BR>2. Budget: It is
wonderful to see the interest to make this a regional event, however that
has huge implications in terms of the resources available. It would be
important to know how much is available through the FTF at this stage and
compare it with an estimate of costs that Chona & myself could work out
(based on the projection of no. of participants, nature of event outlined in
the concept note(s). We would then need to make a realistic assessment of
the resources if we can raise over the next 2 months itself in order to be
able to develop the IWPT as a regional event, or whether we need to settle
for a primarily national event with a few representatives from relevant
countries. <BR><BR>3. Logistics: Once the basics on the Scope &
Resources of the event are clarified, we could accordingly invite key groups
in India to form a sort of Hosting Committee / Local Organizing Committee. A
first meeting of the LOC could be jointly called by NAWO & WNTA and
possibly in the last week of July itself, if we are clear about proceeding
on this event. <BR><BR>These are some thoughts on my end in relation to what
we need in order to move forward.<BR><BR>I am also copying this to Amitabh
in his role as the Convenor of the India Campaign, as well as Marivic &
Amitabh who are the IFT members from Asia for their information &
inputs. <BR><BR>Best regards,<BR>Lysa John, WNTA<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><!-- end of AOLMsgPart_3_92dd705c-523f-47a4-a58a-1a3667574336 -->
