Re: draft announcement

hi yukika,

>am currently trying to figure out how to justify second year funding
>>from Japn Foundation for WENT2000. can you see some ways to link the
>training to post-Beijing+5 activities ? (the fund is provided
>specifically for B+5 related IT empowerment of women's group)

the announcement does say that we focused on B+ 5 last year. could we say
that we would welcome/encourage/identify women who have been active in the
review to apply for the course? does this have to ne spelt out in the
announcement or is this text for the proposal?

we could also say that AWORC's B+5 activities has resulted in more
awareness and more widespread use of ICTs and that WENT 2000 is a way to
consolidate this participation by training more women to work online, manfe
websites and set up databases.  hope that helps. 

when is the deadline? and will we know if they'll fund it in time for the
workshop?

>i don't feel comfortable describing AWORC as "Internet-based women's
>information service"

why not? what does it the service inply to you?

>can we remove "service" and simplify it to "Internet-based women's
>information network" ??

my initial feedback is that I don't mind but i'd like to know the arguments
for taking out the service part. 

that's all so far.
good night
