<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>queridas amigas, (Ver final mensaje)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We finally received the confirmation that GCAP has received
funding for supporting some of its coalitons and constituencies for the
organisation of tribunals/hearings on climate change. We need to present a
proposal if we want to be among the constituencies that will receive support for
the tribunals. As you know we have already agreed on having one tribunal in
Belem do Para, in Brazil, in the framework fo the International Civil Society
Forum that will take place on 29 and 30 November. We have also received
confirmation that the tribunal in India will be in November. We must now agree
on where we are going to organise other tribunals, also in preparation for the
one in Belem. It is important for us to be able to have one in Africa, though we
must identify a partner organisation. It must be in subSaharan Africa, as we
have already organised a tribunal in Northern Africa but none in sub Sahara. In
Europe we have Luisa who can help organising one, but we need to identify
whether Switzerland is the right place to organise one, or if we should try East
Europe. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am copying below from the agreement between Oxfam GB and
GCAP so you can see objectives and criteria. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To discuss this, Rosa and I are suggesting to have a call on
Wednesday 22 July. Rosa will organise the conference call. But we need your
comments before so we can prepare the proposal. We can look at it at the call on
Wednesday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I look forward to your comments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
