<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear friends</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Though a bit late, I do really want to drop a
note to express my elation and full support at this happy development. (I do
so also because the Asian co-focal points--Angela and myself--have really been
vocal about this since Paris and PrepCom3, and we feel we should recognize
things not only when something is not right, but also when things
are.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to thank Claire, Louise and the rest of
the CSD for supporting us in this--I think the result below was indeed a
result of CSD being in alignment with the spirit of the long discussions in
the CSB.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Though it is indeed "satisfying", claire, after all the intense online
and offline discussion on this, it is really not about simple satisfaction...I
would think that this is really a victory of creativity,
persistence, and opening the processes which have to be so. And to do what is
right (i.e., gender balance).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again, solidarity pats to all families who pushed
for this, and most of all to SDC for showing openness and flexibility in their
decision. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>May I suggest that a formal letter of thanks be
drafted and I guess no one will object to affixing their signatures on this...
Since the latest fellows are all from the most active women in WSIS, can we
invite the Gender Caucus and GSWG to put forward a draft next
week?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We appreciate the concensus on a couple of
names from the Gender Family. We would have proposed Concepcion Garcia
Ramilo as well but we have only very recently managed to raise and
confirm funds for her. So we would suggest to the Gender Family to
either put up another name or support one of ours, our priority besides
Celeste Cinco would be Raijeli Nicole. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately, we are still proposing that
only women be funded for this round. While we recognise Monthian's key
role for people with disabillities, maybe this is something that the CSD
can go back to SDC and get extra funding for since this is a special
case.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Warm regards,</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>As indicated earlier, we would like to
put forward five women's names from the Asia Pacific region for
fellowships under the Civil Society Facility Fund. We have checked
that for at least four of them (the first four), obtaining visas would
not be a problem. These are ranked as follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Celeste Cinco, APC (Filipina). Was
very active in WSIS Asia Pacific, Tokyo, and was part of the
organising team on the gender and ICT workshop, and active in content
and drafting. Celeste will be travelling from the USA, hence costs
would probably be a little reduced in terms of airfare.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Raijeli Nicole, Isis International
Manila (Fijian). Has been active throughout the Prepcoms, playing
major role in Content and Themes and in advocating gender and ICT
issues.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Ma. Victoria Balleza, Isis
International Manila (Filipina). Has been active within Media and
Gender. Was also part of the organising team for the gender and ICT
workshop in WSIS Asia Pacific, Tokyo, and was active in content and
drafting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Susanna George, Isis International
Manila (Malaysian). Has been active on Content and Themes and in
advocating gender and ICT issues.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) Maitreyi Doshi (Youth, India,
active)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These names come from our original
listing provided to the CSD.</FONT></DIV>
