suggest that all the four candidates be women and gender advocates. As this was
one of the main reasons we wrote to SDC. Asia Pacific will submit at least five
names in priority ranking.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Louise, Liliane and Claire,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is indeed very good news. This means all
balance funds can be spent on DC fellowships, and we will receive an
additional CHF16,000? So how much in total are we talking about? And how
many fellowships would this mean?</FONT></DIV>
