Dear Sunila,<br>Thanks for this. Your message is in line with the thoughts shared by Chona (who hosts the South East, North & Central Asia Secretariat of GCAP) and Sharmila (Nepal) for exploring how we could develop this as a regional initiative.
<br>Based on your inputs, it may be worthwhile to explore the formation of a regional core group who can provide the insights and perspective to develop the IWPT, and a local organizing committee - which possibly could also comprise a group of women's organizations & rights groups who can provide the groundwork for the initiative, and take forward the process & policy outcomes - in India.
<br>Pam is currently traveling but has indicated that she will be back on 20th, which will enable us to discuss this further. I am also reverting to the Steering Group of the GCAP India campaign on this so that we can have some concrete proposal to move forward at the earliest.

<br>>Greetings,<br>>Ana<br>><br>>Amigas,<br>>ahora que culminó la movilización en torno al G8 debemos comenzar nuestra<br>>preparación con miras al 17 de octubre, fecha central de movilización de<br>>este año, y para la cual tenemos una propuesta concreta surgida de la
<br>>reunión de planificación de Nairobi. La idea es organizar Tribunales de<br>>Mujeres sobre la Pobreza el 17 de octubre. Originalmente habíamos pensado<br>>en uno solo en Nueva York, pero luego el grupo facilitador decidió
<br>>organizar 4: en Nueva York, bajo la responsabilidad de Rosa, en Egipto,<br>>bajo la responsabilidad de Josephine, en India, bajo la responsabilidad de<br>>Pam y con el apoyo de Lysa, y en Perú, bajo la responsabilidad de Martha
<br>>Rico. La idea es construir esta experiencia a partir de otras similares<br>>que ya se han realizado en relación con otros temas, por ejemplo el de la<br>>deuda. Necesitamos el apoyo de todas ustedes para identificar integrantes
<br>>de asociaciones de la sociedad civil en cada uno de esos países y también<br>>personas reconocidas internacionalmente para que integren el panel de<br>>jueces. Como se imaginan organizar estos cuatro tribunales demandará un
<br>>gran esfuerzo pero creemos que nos dará mucha visibilidad y sobre todo que<br>>el impacto puede llegar a ser muy alto. Para ello contamos con vuestro<br>>apoyo. Las responsables en cada región van a ir mandando más información
<br>>pero es importante que ustedes comiencen a identificar posibles<br>><mailto:<a href="mailto:candidat@s">candidat@s</a>>candidat@s para el jurado. Y también sería muy bueno<br>>que enviaran sugerencias y comentarios de experiencias similares que
<br>>conozcan o en las que hayan participado. Tenemos que asegurar que esta<br>>actividad salga bien y que podamos sumar a esta movilización a las<br>>coaliciones nacionales y a todo el EFI!<br>>Gracias, y las mantendremos informadas de los planes. Esperamos vuestros
