I don't feel at all qualified to recommend anyone in particular, but 
some comments on a few of the applicants from our region:

Isis are an important regional organization. Isis staff have made 
significant contributions to regional meetings, PrepComs and work of 
groups like CRIS.

I believe Varsha (World Youth Foundation) attended the CONGO meeting 
last November in Bangkok.  I think she would be familiar with the 
issues.

Literary Academy for Dalit of Nepal (LAD Nepal) applied to attend the 
regional meeting in Tokyo and we had hoped to bring them on a 
fellowship, but they had problems getting a visa at short notice for 
Japan. Couldn't make it.

No applicant from the Pacific, which is a shame as they have begun to 
get involved since the Tokyo regional meeting. And the Pacific is 
struggling in that some text they want in the declaration was cut 
during the Paris meeting. Would be good to have a NGO at PrepCom3 to 
support the government reps. We tried to bring a group called 
People's First Network from the Solomon Islands to the Tokyo regional 
meeting, but their representative got stuck in a sudden work stoppage 
at the local airport and missed the only flight!  Would be very good 
if you could recommend someone from there. Person we'd hoped to get 
to Tokyo was David Leeming.

One thing - if people go on a fellowship, perhaps you could try to 
make it a condition that they join this list and give us some 
feedback during the PrepCom!

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks,

Adam
