[karen banks]

hi djilali

i'll certainly add the info about the finance list to the wsis-cs.org 
caucuses website.. but it might have to wait til i'm back in london next 
week - hope that's ok..

to all who sent messages of congratulations for the Anita Borg Award - many 
thanks - it's a wonderful accolade and recognition from peers of the work 
of our network..

i was interested to see that some people didn't know anything about the 
work of the APC Womens networking support programme (www.apcwomen.org).

APCWNSP was very active in WSIS I (and continues to be so) through the NGO 
gender strategies working group (NGO GSWG www.genderit.org) and the WSIS 
Gender caucus (www.genderwsis.org).

The work of the NGO GSWG was probably best known for the t-shirt campaign 
during WSIS I..

T-shirt campaign grabs attention of governments where documents have failed

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, 09/18/2003 -- The NGO Gender Strategies Working Group 
launched a WSIS t-shirt campaign yesterday which had government delegates 
craning their necks to read a message that until now had fallen upon deaf 
ears. The t-shirts, which contained the message "WSIS has a missing 
paragraph" (on the front) and the text of paragraph 11A (on the back) were 
worn by a number of non governmental delegates. Later in the day, some 
government representatives approached the delegates to buy their own 
t-shirts to wear during the PrepCom.
