The first five would include her. I think that =either of the two Isis names could give way and slide down to the =waiting list (next five) Anyway, as we heard the Gender Family will also =endorse some of their names for scholarship.)It would therefore look like this: priority list of 5: the 2 focal points (for now, Angela and myself); 1 =from the youth; 1 from the Gender Caucus; 1 from Pacific. The others =could follow in a waiting list. (If Angela or myself or any other one is successful in finding other =funds, then the waiting list comes into play if CSD funds are still =available)(In fact this could be a precursor to a process we can follow as well =for the Summit itself.)If there will still be an opportunity later (assuming some funds are =available from somewhere), I would also like to put in additional =possible nominees based on country equity and past work done for the =caucus (from developing countries only I am afraid):- India: Jaba Menon- Thailand: Sacha Jotisalikorn- Nepal: Gaurab Uphadaya (where are you, man?)- Malaysia: Arfa'eza A Aziz(They would have to be all registered by the 15th though, and can be =able to be part of an accredited org--as with all our nominees)Al ----- Original Message ----- From: RunningToddler To: AP WSIS Caucus Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 10:08 PM Subject: [communication 798] my vote hello everyone, since time is running out, i wanted to share what i felt would be a =good line-up from the region considering the work they have done and the =potential role they could play: 1. Al Alegre, Philippines, FMA/APC, convenor of AP caucus 2. Susanna George, Philippines, Isis International Manila 3. Sunit Shrestha, Thailand, Taking IT Global (Youth family, nominated =by Youth focal point) 4. David Leeming, Solomon Islands, RVDA [most likely will come under =SPC's accreditation; did not apply for fellowship but I'd like to push =for his sponsorship as I went looking for him and identification was =based on feedback from Chat who was in the Pacific WSIS consultation] 5. Raijeli Nicole, Isis International Manila [considering Al's point =that she's actually Fijian, although linked to Isis] 6. Chat Garcia Ramilo, Philippines, APC [note: needs only partial =funding i.e accommodation and per diem; air travel supported by other =source] 7. Robert Sagun, Philippines, Taking IT Global (Youth family; =nominated by Youth focal point) 8. Mavic Belleza, Philippines, Isis International 9. Another application may be missing from the list. This would be =from Chetan Sharma, Datamation India. Chetan Sharma is also attending =the Gender and ICTs Forum and self-sponsored travel after being told =that there weren't anymore fellowships. The commitment seems genuine. I =would include this as my next nominee if CSD confirms this application. 10. Reza Salim, Bangladesh, BFES I am open to discussing my line-up above. We have good support from =the Gender Caucus for all gender advocates from this region. These are =Susanna George, Chat Garcia Ramilo, Mavic Belleza and Raijeli Nicole. =While three may come from Isis International itself, all three are of =different nationalities, and hence would contribute to the diverse =representation that we'd need. The Youth Caucus nominees for this region were Sunit and Robert as you =had all seen in Nick's e-mail which Al forwarded to the list. Maybe we should push for a minimum of 10 delegates to be sponsored? =It's important that these are able to play an effective role in =responding to and drafting for content on issues pertinent to the region =and for cross-cutting issues globally.
