<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>
