Subject: For your support: APRCEM Transition and Election_Disability Constituency Focal Point

Dear APRCEM Disability Constituency Members, Colleagues, and Friends,

Hope this email finds you all in good health, heart, and spirit. 

The Asia-Pacific Regional Civil Society Engagement Mechanism (APRCEM) engages in sustainable development processes and the Disability Constituency is part of it. 

The APRCEM facilitates the participation of civil society at the Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development and the Disability Constituency under the umbrella of the AP-RCEM forms a part of that. The Constituency works to ensure that persons with disabilities from the Asia Pacific can unify their messages as a stakeholder group and are able to connect and interlink messages with the wider regional civil society, the UN, and the Member States. A key component of the organizational structure of the Constituency is the role of Focal Point. The Focal Point shares information and opportunities to coordinate joint messages and carry out advocacy outreach. The Focal Points ensure that the workstreams adhere to the text of the CRPD, the 2030 Agenda, and other key documents.

As you all know, the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) has served as the Focal Point for the past several years and now as the Interim Contact Point for our Disability Constituency. 

With a recent APRCEM RCC Meeting, the committee discussed the matter relating to the APRCEM Transition and Election. Based on the election guidelines, the outgoing focal points and interim contact points have started their process of affirming via email. As an Outgoing Focal Point and Interim Contact Point for our Disability Constituency, this email serves to affirm the Interim Contact Point as an Official Focal Point based on a ‘no objection basis’. This means that the PDF will automatically be accepted unless someone replies to this email breaking the silence. In this instance, a Zoom call should be facilitated in consultation with APRCEM Election Committee and Co-chairs. 

Also, kindly note that APRCEM membership is based by organization, not individual. Considering that my term as the PDF Female Co-chair ends at the upcoming PDF Annual Board Meeting in August this year, it's the decision of PDF Board if PDF will continue this role and identify a Board Member to be a representative for the next two years.

Looking forward to your support and response no later than Wed, 31 May 2023.

Thank you so much.

Kind regards,

Lany
