<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I basically agree with Angela's suggestions =
except for
one important omission--herself!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It would therefore look like this: =
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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. <FONT
face=Arial>The others could follow in a waiting list. =
</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(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)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(In fact this could be a precursor to a =
process we can
follow as well for the Summit itself.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If there will still be an opportunity later =
(assuming
some funds are available from somewhere), I would also like to put in

the caucus (from developing countries only I am afraid):</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>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:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>1. Al Alegre, Philippines, FMA/APC, convenor of AP caucus<FONT
face=Arial size=2></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>2. Susanna George, Philippines, Isis International Manila =
</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Sunit Shrestha, Thailand, Taking =
IT Global
(Youth family, nominated by Youth focal point)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>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]</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>5. Raijeli Nicole, Isis International Manila [considering Al's =
point
that she's actually Fijian, although linked to Isis]</DIV>
<DIV>6. Chat Garcia Ramilo, Philippines, APC [note: needs only =
partial
funding i.e accommodation and per diem; air travel supported by =
other
source]</DIV>
<DIV>7. Robert Sagun, Philippines, Taking IT Global (Youth family; =
nominated
by Youth focal point)</DIV>
<DIV>8. Mavic Belleza, Philippines, Isis International</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV>10. Reza Salim, Bangladesh, BFES</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
