Subject: [APWW-Meet] NGO Regional
Forum
Dear Members of
APWW-Meet:
I am extending to all of
you a Happy New Year and the wishes that may we continue our struggles with
many success and few drawbacks in 2004.
I am sending you a summary
of what has been proposed up to now for the NGO Regional B+10 Forum. Because
the Forum is only 6 months away, there is much work to do to make it a
success. For the initial steps, there is a need to pull together a Convenors
Group that can take forth the plans and proposals, in addition there needs
to be consultations and research with and among women's groups in the region
as to the implementation success and challenges on the Beijing
Platform for Action and emerging issues.
I hope that you are able to
discuss this Forum with your networks and organizations and participate in
what we think will be an important regional NGO forum. If you have any
questions or suggestions, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Luz M.
Martinez
