Dear Otto,
As I informed you in some previous e-mails Klaus Brunnstein and other people from WCC suggested me to organize an event jointly the WCC2006 about "Women and ICT: Education and Employment Issues & Opportunities in Developing Countries".
I personally think that it is a good idea that can perfectly fit in WG 6.9, for many different reasons:
This event is proposed as a part of the WCC 2006 that is mainly sponsored and organized by IFIP
1. Despite Chile probably will leave the group of developing countries in a near future still we can consider it into this group. 2. The event is proposed in two parts:
- Women and ICT (conference)
- Women and ICT: Education and Employment Issues & Opportunities in Developing Countries (panel discussion)
3. TC6 can obtain wide visibility not only related to the scientific and technique topics it covers but also in all the areas participating in WCC.
<> And considering that:
- Practically all the countries in Latin America (were the WCC is hold) are developing countries
- Women's activities are a big contribution in the economy of D.C.
- ICT are a fantastic opportunity for Women employment in all countries because they permit e-work and reconcile the professional activity with the family
<> I would like to organize this event under the sponsorship of 6.9.
The economical support of HP has been required since they have sponsored similar events in other countries.
<> We will also need some financial support form TC6 in order to invite significant women that can give some conferences or participate in a panel. A budget of 3000 € will be very useful to help in the organization. <>
Would you be so kind to take into account this proposal and distribute it in the TC6 list if you considered it convenient?
Best regards and all the best for 2006
Ana
I will support this and will be happy to canvas for delegates from SA.

Dear Otto, I think that this support will reinforce the presence of TC6 in WCC. I am in favour of this funding. Best regards Ramon
