>> 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.
