<DIV>Dear all,</DIV>
<DIV>thanks Rosa for the detailed message.</DIV>
<DIV>It is also good to know that some of our colleagues have already confirmed
that they will be there. </DIV>
<DIV>Rosa and I have looked at the possible dates for the FTF meeting and we
have agreed on 1 and 2 March. That is the weekend between the two weeks of the
CSW and there are no official activities during those days, so it is perfect for
us to meet and it will be easier to get a room. This meeting will be crucial for
strategizing the future of the FTF after March 2008 and to present conclusions
from the tribunals. </DIV>
<DIV>I know that many of you will not be checking messages during these days,
but as soon as you find this message, please confirm your participation.</DIV>
<DIV>We need to know who will be attending. As always, Rosa and I will keep you
informed about venue, agenda, and other details. </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your support, and we look forward to seeing you in New
York.</DIV>
<DIV>Warm greetings, and the desire for an intense 2008 in which we can come
closer to our dream of a just, equal and sustainable world.</DIV>
<DIV>Un abrazo,</DIV>
<DIV>Ana</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Gracias Rosa por tu mensaje detallado. Es bueno también saber que varias de
nuestras colegas van a estar en la CSW. </DIV>
<DIV>Rosa y yo hemos visto posibles fechas para la reunión de la FTF y nos
pusimos de acuerdo en el 1 y 2 de marzo. Ese es el fin de semana entre las dos
semanas de la CSW y no habrá actividades oficiales durante esos días, de manera
que es perfecto para que nos reunamos. Esta reunión es fundamental para definir
estrategias de la FTF para después de marzo de 2008 y para presentar las
conclusiones de los tribunales. </DIV>
<DIV>Sé que varias de ustedes no abrirán sus correos durante estos días, pero
cuando encuentren este mensaje, les agradezco que confirmen enseguida si van a
participar o no de la reunión de Nueva York. </DIV>
<DIV>Como siempre, Rosa y yo las mantendremos informadas sobre lugar de la
reunión, agenda y otros detalles.</DIV>
<DIV>Gracias por todo el apoyo y nos alegramos desde ya por nuestro encuentro en
Nueva York.</DIV>
<DIV>Un fuerte abrazo y el deseo para un 2008 intenso y en el que nos acerquemos
a nuestro sueño de un mundo justo, igualitario y sustentable.</DIV>

<DIV>Dear colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, Ana, for sending out this info. In anticipation of an FTF
meeting in Feb/March for the CSW, I will be registering all FTF members for
the CSW. This needs to be done by Dec. 31st of this year.
Afterwards, it is harder to register names. However, we can swap names
easier after registering this year.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As Ana has said, next year's CSW will be an excellent opportunity for us
to caucus and present findings for the Tribunals in India, Peru and Egypt in
New York, along with some NY groups presenting some findings. I am
organizing this for late Feb/early March. The CSW will be held at the
United Nations headquarters in New York from 25 February to 7 March 2008, so
planning ahead is important. Having the CSW end on March 7th will enable
people to get back to their countries for their March 8th activities (leaving
a few days earlier, of course). 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. Beginning
on Monday 25 February and Tuesday 26 February 2008 there will be discussions
on the main theme mentioned above. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To begin to look at dates, I think we should plan to meet as FTF perhaps
the weekend before the CSW starts. On the Sunday before the CSW there is
always an orientation and meeting rooms are more available. I'd
like to propose this since I am thinking women would like to head back to
their countries before March 8th. How does this fit in with others'
schedules?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sending a link to the CSW here: <A
href="http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/52sess.htm">http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/52sess.htm</A></DIV>
<DIV>If your organization has ECOSOC status, you can pre-register by Dec.
31st. I would urge you to do so and let me know so I don't have to do
that for you. Even if you are not sure whether you will be coming, it is
good to pre-register and can be canceled later. The pre-registration
ensures you a letter from the UN in January for visa purposes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am really excited about these prospects. The CSW will attract
lots of women from around the world interested in this topic. As
mentioned before, the FTF is part of a group and facilitating women's
organizations' participation on Financing for Development (aid, trade, debt,
governance/systemic issues). More information will follow, however these
focus areas are very much in line with our work. Any and all
feedback is welcomed. For now, please get back to me on the
proposed dates and if you can pre-register for the CSW. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Warm regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rosa</DIV>
