Dear Ana, Rosa, and Dear FTF friends,<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for your diligent efforts. I will be available for the conference call. In addition, I can spare a weak's time for the event in NY and will leave immediately after the FTF meeting. Our tribunal in Cairo was rescheduled for March 14, 2008.<BR>
<BR>
Consequently, need to renew my Visa to the US, therefore, I will need a letter of invitation ASAP because the process of issuing the US Visa became so long here.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you in advance for your anticipated assistance.<BR>
<BR>
Love and Peace<BR>
Josephine<BR><BR>> From: ana@icae.org.uy<BR>> To: RosaenCasa@aol.com; ftffacilitationteam@listas.chasque.net<BR>> Subject: Re: [Ftffacilitationteam] FTF Facilitation meeting in March<BR>> Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 06:30:21 -0200<BR>> CC: <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Dear Rosa, dear friends, (espanhol abajo)<BR>> I am really looking forward to the meeting in New York as it will give us the <BR>> opportunity to take stock of all what we have done in 2007 and plan for the <BR>> year ahead. As you know this is a year with big changes in the GCAP <BR>> structure. Rosa and Josephine have been part of the structure group and know <BR>> this very well but all of you have been kept informed and have contributed in <BR>> different ways to the shaping of the new structure as the discussions started <BR>> even before the Montevideo meeting and a lot of decisions where taken there <BR>> where several of you were.<BR>> Among those changes is the establishment of a new body that replaces the IFT <BR>> and of course the mandate of all of us who sit there comes to an end. We need <BR>> to agree on the FTF representation. This is very important.<BR>> I really hope that several of you will be attending the New York meeting. To <BR>> plan this is important to have a teleconference where we can talk and agree <BR>> on a series of issues. Rosa and I were thinking to have a call on Monday 21 <BR>> January. We need to know your availability. This is a crucial call. PLEASE <BR>> RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE INDICATING IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE CALL AND IF <BR>> NOT, WHAT DAY WILL FIT YOU BETTER. IT MUST BE NEXT WEEK. <BR>> Even if you know that you will not go to New York, it is important for all of <BR>> us to be at the call. So thanks in advance for confirming your participation.<BR>> So, I look forward to your replies and to talking to you all hopefully on <BR>> Monday.<BR>> Warm greetings,<BR>> Ana<BR>> <BR>> Amigas,<BR>> un resumen del mensaje: Rosa envio un mensaje comunicando que el 1 y el 2 de <BR>> marzo sera la reunion de la FTF en Nueva York, coincidiendo con la reunion de <BR>> la CSW. Ella ya escribio sobre eso en diciembre y provisionalmente nos ha <BR>> inscripto a todas para asegurar lugar y tambien facilitar la obtencion de <BR>> visa. Pide que confirmen quienes van a participar. Yo agrego que la reunion <BR>> del 1 y 2 de marzo es muy importante dados los cambios en la estructura de <BR>> GCAP, ya el IFT sera suplantado por un nuevo organo y el mandato de todos y <BR>> todas quienes estamos alli termina en marzo, por lo que debemos decidir sobre <BR>> la nueva representacion. <BR>> Para conversar sobre la reunion de marzo, Rosa y yo estamos proponiendo una <BR>> llamada el lunes 21 y les pedimos por favor que confirmen si estan <BR>> disponibles y si no, que sugieran un dia alternativo que debe ser sin falta <BR>> la proxima semana. Esperamos entonces vuestra confirmacion para la llamada, <BR>> independiente de si van a ir o no a la reunion de Nueva York.<BR>> Muchas gracias,<BR>> Ana<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ---------- Original Message -----------<BR>> From: RosaenCasa@aol.com<BR>> To: ftffacilitationteam@listas.chasque.net<BR>> Sent: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:06:15 EST<BR>> Subject: [Ftffacilitationteam] FTF Facilitation meeting in March<BR>> <BR>> > Dear colleagues,<BR>> > <BR>> > Hoping you are all well and with recharged spirits for the new <BR>> > year! I'm writing to you about the upcoming FTF Facilitation <BR>> > meeting proposed for March 1st and 2nd in New York. I had sent a <BR>> > note back in December with details about the UN Commission for the <BR>> > Status of Women (CSW) and the opportunity it affords for us to <BR>> > meet. For one, the New York International Tribunal on Women and <BR>> > Poverty is planned for that time and some of us will be there. <BR>> > Some are already involved in presenting finding from previous <BR>> > tribunals at this event.<BR>> > <BR>> > Back in December I preregistered colleagues for the CSW to ensure a <BR>> > spot at the meeting. This would also produce a visa letter for <BR>> > those requiring a letter from the UN for those purposes. At this <BR>> > time, it is important to know who will be coming, who would like to <BR>> > come and if so, what are the concerns or hesitations. The FTF FT <BR>> > meeting will be held all day March 1 and 2nd. As you know, the CSW <BR>> > will be held at the United Nations headquarters in New York from 25 <BR>> > February to 7 March 2008. Having the FTF-FT meeting on March 1 and <BR>> > 2nd will enable people to get back to their countries for their <BR>> > March 8th activities (leaving a few days earlier, of course).<BR>> > <BR>> > Also, you may know the theme of this year's meeting is "Financing <BR>> > for Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment" which fits very well <BR>> > with the GCAP mandate and the FTF focus on gender and poverty. The <BR>> > CSW will provide a unique opportunity to not only show case the <BR>> > tribunal findings, but to network and strategize with other women's <BR>> > groups on the financing gender and poverty eradication agendas for <BR>> > meetings later this year.<BR>> > <BR>> > At this time, please confirm your participation at the meeting by <BR>> > replying to this e-mail. A proposed agenda will be sent soon. At <BR>> > the moment, you could send agenda items/ideas to me. One big issue <BR>> > to be discussed will be the future for the FTF, its FT, the work of <BR>> > GCAP and moving forward.<BR>> > <BR>> > Let's keep the dialogue open.
