<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><br>
<br>
<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.<br>
<br>
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><br>
<br>
<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><br>
<br>
<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><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>Thanks</font><br>

<dd>Hello everyone,</font>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>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>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>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>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>Warm regards,</font>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>Angela</font>

<dd>Dear Louise, Liliane and Claire,</font>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>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>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>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.
<dd>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.
<dd>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.
<dd>4) Susanna George, Isis International Manila (Malaysian). Has been
active on Content and Themes and in advocating gender and ICT issues.
<dd>5) Maitreyi Doshi (Youth, India, active)</font>
<dd>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>These names come from our original listing provided to the
CSD.</font>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
<dd>Warm regards,</font>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>
