I just confirmed it =today. Please let's send off a list of people whom we know have worked =really hard within the region and at the global level to continue to =push for our issues and cross-cutting issues.Warm regards,Angela ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan G. Alegre To: communication@wsisasia.org Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 5:32 PM Subject: [communication 808] Re: my vote I basically agree with Angela's suggestions except for one important =omission--herself! I would therefore put her in number one (given her crucial role in the =Paris intersessionals, I am deferring to her leadership in representing =us as focal point in the CSB; this of course assuming that there are no =other takers for this thankless job--owing to the fact that I have =posted this representation question 2 or 3 times before with practically =no response.) If we therefore have a priority list, it would be I suggest as Angela =outlined the names. 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.
