  While greeting the relevance of the intervention of our Dear
Frère and Friendly Tijiani, I would like to question me on the
general principle of the agreement of a seat, this, without giving my
opinion on the choice for the moment.
   
  1 A my humble opinion, I it repète, one could not speak about the
ECA, if the procèdure of headquarters agreement with the country host
is not started, some is the country.
   
  2 the legal recognition of ACSIS, should also answer the legislation
or the law of the country host on associations, some is the country.
As many the problems with resoudre before going to negotiate an office
where one could sit down.
   
  3 With regard to the making of contact with the various partners, a
program is spirit to be elaborate on the level of the Cabinet. With
this occasion, if we rule on Addis Ababa, the problem will be tackled
with the ECA at the convenient period.
   
  ' 4 I divide the opinion of Tijani on the urgency of the election of
the national focal points which are the base of the structures of the
network, like he says it. One cannot work out an action plan if the
national focal points are not set up. The action plan must initially
hold account of the national needs and under regionaux. Then the date
of February 28, 2006 seems to me remote.
   
  5 the action plan constitutes for us a working tool, very important.
It is our reference mark, our dictionary, A each time, we will be
challenged to present our plan of action.qui will be programmed over
time and will be budgetisé. the conditionality to have now is to it
the installation of the national Focal Points which must give us the
basic elements

Dear friends,

Here is that a week passed after our last meeting to Tunis
which saw the election of the first cabinet of ACSIS after 2 years of
exercise of the cabinet founder. One week rich of exchange of
courriels expressing the satisfaction of the ones and irritation, to
see even the anger of the others.

The question of the languages was not born yesterday, and I
include/understand perfectly the frustration of those which see us
conversing without them including/understanding a word. The solution
will not be found without an effort combined of all one each one: The
bilingual ones must write their messages in the two languages, the
strictly monolingual ones must write short, simple and direct
sentences to allow a machine translation available, and which cost us
money (certainly sponsored by APC).

The conditions of the elections must be included/understood as being
the best possible ones. Of course, one can find imperfections to them,
but as say the French best "is the enemy of the good". For better
doing in the future, it is necessary to think of laying down rules of
procedure accepted by the majority within the rules of procedure.

With my direction, we all must put to us at work to make of this 4
years nonrenewable mandate the good departure for our network after
the mandate of 2 last years constitution. We will not begin a zero
since the preceding team ran the concrete of the foundations of ACSIS.
It deserves large a mercy.

Priorities? There is initially the election of the national focal
points which are the base of the structures of the network, in more of
sous-régional coordinator of South Africa (to fix a limiting date for
the coordinators under regional at the 28 Fév 2006 for example). It
is also necessary to take again the articles of the statute which were
not examined in Tunis to put them in harmony with the remainder of the
text.
Another priority consists in renewing the contact with the ECA to make
sure that their promise concerning the financing of a secretariat with
Addis always holds (Olivier and Nnenna can help)

As regards the country host, Nnenna is right absolutely. Those
which followed ACSIS since its birth (and Diana is one of those there)
remember that several alternatives were explored (Tunis, Cape Town,
the Maurice Islands, and Addis). Addis was finally selected for the
proximity of the nations plain (ECA) and the African Union. The
secretariat does not have anything to have with the opening of the
mode in place with Addis on the civil company. Who could get a room
and a working capital other than to us the ECA concerned with the
Nations Plain. This option is better by far than any other means of
financing coming from any government. I think that one should not call
in question of the decisions and the actions taken without it not
being major reasons there.

The establishment of a secretariat would mark a very important
qualitative jump in our effective activity. Of course, we should not
accept that one confuses us with a service of the ECA, but we must
seize the opportunity which is offered to us, and knowledge to take
our distances each time that it is needed.

Afflicted for this long message.

Dear fiends,

One week after Tunis, after the election of the first ACSIS
Cabinet succeeding to the constituting one, several e-mail were
exchanges expressing satisfaction here and frustration and even anger
there.

The resulting of language isn' T new; I understand very well the
frustration of those who don' T understand any Word of our discussion.
The solution wouldn' T Be possible without has common effort: the
bilinguals cuts to Write in both English and French, the strictly
monolinguals should uses shorts, simple and direct sentences to allow
the automatic translator that we paid for (sponsored from APC) to Be
used efficiently.

The election circumstances should Be understood have the best possible
ones. Sour For, one edge find several imperfections, goal No thing
will Be done yew we claim the perfection. To C it better next time, we
need to define some rules of procedure accepted by everyone that we
cuts to include in our "internal rules (rules of procedure)".

I think we cuts all to start working so that this un-renewable 4 years
elects will Be the good starting not for our network after the
constitution elects of the 2 last years. We won' T start from zero,
the precedent TEAM cuts cast the concrete of the ACSIS ground work.
Many thanks.

Our priorities? First of all, we need to elect the national focal
points and the sub-regional coordinator for south Africa (define has
timeline, 28 Feb. for example), we cuts also to review all statute
articles that weren' T addressed in Tunis to harmonize the text.

We need also to keep in touch sour with ECA to make they intend to
execute to their promised to fund our secretariat in Addis (Olivier
and Nnenna edge help).

Have for the host country resulting, Nnenna is absolutely right. Those
who followed ACSIS affairs since the beginning (and Diana is one of
them) remember that has batch of proposals were explored (Tunis,
Addis, Cape Town, Mauritius) and Addis was finally chosen for the
proximity of the ONE (ECA) and the African Union. Who edge provide
premises and funds to run the secretariat yew not ECA (ONE). This
option is far better then any other funding from any government.

The Establishment of has secretariat will Be has achievement
significant for our network, and would lead to effective activities.

Long Sorry for the post.
