Dear all, I have just arrived in Amsterdam now, met Diego there who helped me with the efficiency of the travel, thank you. I have a board meeting of my institution tomorrow, that I could not avoid, that is why I had to leave early. Sorry for not getting the chance to say goodbye to you before leaving. I had meant to be back in the afternoon session. We will stay in touch here. I think Rahul's point above is very important.
At 6com there were 34 requests for accreditation by NGOs. Should the working group send a messge to the successful NGOs welcoming them into the group of accredited NGOs? And also to those whose applications were unsuccessful this time, giving them our support for the next round?
Dear all
thank you tu Egil for this invitation and stay in touch. Thanks to Rahul for the goods propositions abour the NGO statement and to Carmen for Newsletters.

Dear friends. Thanks Egil for providing this "meeting place" for us. I am sorry for not having the possibility of following the latest developments of our networking. Other commitments took most of my time in the last week or so. How can I know where we are and where we are heading to after the 6COM? Best. Antonio
Dear Antonio,good to hear from you. If you open "pages and files" at the top here, then you find summaries where there are reports from the meetings at Bali.
Best Egil
Diego is right about this practice. We NGOs will need to follow the debates and decisions closely in order to recommend and comment in an advisory role - both to Convention organs and bodies, and also to practitioners, other NGOs, ICH holder etc.
But where are the final documents and decisions for 6COM? I can't see any online and a week has gone by. This page http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/index.php?lg=en&pg=00362
still has the agenda and session documents posted at the beginning of 6COM.
Hello Rahul and Friends, :)
I would like to see the final documents, maybe we will wait for it.
Anyway, I uploaded photos into the NGO FORUM Photos Folder.
Best, MOON
Hi Diego!
Sorry I sent our representative to the NGO meeting at UNESCO Paris on 5th December as agreed, but he stood at the gate of 1 rue Miollis from 9 - 10am. Nobody knew about the meeting there. Later on 6th I was informed that the meeting took place at UNESCO, 7 Place de Fontenoy. There was therefore a problem of communication as we had not specified the venue of the meeting when we met in Bali. But I later sent the message of ACRI to the Secretariat and informed them that we failed to find the venue of the meeting.
How did the meeting go?
It's great to have a single place with all the documentation and exchanges, as it represents an opportunity to hear from everyone including those who cannot attend the IGCi meetings but still play an important role.
When I eventually got home from Bali in spite of the strikes, I was at the ICOMOS meeting in Partis on 2 Dec for the international scientific committee on ICH and would like to encourage them to join as well. Can we ask Egil to tell us how we can publicise the Forum with civil society organisations and experts - do we ask people to email you? How many members do we have already on this site?
Hi Harriet,
We have sent invitations to 63 persons, some 20 have logged in so far. Anyone can go here and read the pages, but those who want to comment, need to be invited or can request access on the top here, under users. There I also think you should be able to see who are users so far.
If you send me a usual email with addresses you want to us to invite, I can do that very easily.
A happy 2012 to all. I wish you a peaceful 2012 full of inspiration, friendship and solidarity. I've taken a good look at this ICH forum webspace and thank Egil and Eivind for the excellent work they have put in. The 'navigator' links lead to a good set of starting material. It would be excellent if we had more non-English material (and discussion) here. I don't know if we can write in Mandarin or HIndi or Arabic yet :) but I guess we'll get there. Regards, Rahul
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! I WISH EVERYONE PROSPERITY, GOOD HEALTH AND A LOT OF ENERGY FOR PURSUING THE WORK OF THE NGO FORUM.
I have just gotten back from a vacation with family and have not had the chance to keep in touch.
Thanks to Eivind for the summary of the participation of the NGOs in the ICH Committee meeitng in Bali. We look forward to a more transparent cooperation among NGOs to strengthen the role of the NGOs in UNESCO. We hope to be of more use to the implementation of the plans and programs of the ICH committee to mutually benefit each other.
Thanks to Egil for keeping this forum going. This was really fast work and very helpful in communicating with members.
Also, in case you do not already know, it seems that the date for the Researchers Forum meeting will be 3 June in Paris. Any queries to Toshi Kono please.
This forum is pretty quiet - Are there still only 20 registrations, Egil? Have all accredited NGOs been invited to join (they are already more than 63)?
best wishes to all for the year of the dragon!
Harriet
Thank you for your informations Harriet, yes, it is quite silent here. 64 persons have been invited, but only some 20 have signed in.
If you miss anyone, please send them an email invite them to ask for access, or send me their email, and I can invite them.
I suppose the broader issue is to have reasons for people to join the NGO Forum (not just the website) and participate in its organization; it's still at such an early stage -
Dear Harriet and Egil
thank you for your informations about the forum of 3 june, can you tell me more about the way to have the registration form and/or sign this invitation?
best wishes to all
Valentina
I am sure there will be a formal invitation / notice out soon - just save the date in the meantime and if you have any specific queries the best thing to do is contact Toshi Kono.
I really wish I could have joined the Forum on the 3rd of June but the date is really impossible for me. Though I hope the Web-Forum will be a fruitful meeting point for the NGOs. I really hope that the ones we miss will join our Forum. Please help us to make that possible. Thanks to all of you for making the NGOs participation in Bali a success.
Apologies for the delay - the editorial staff went on a flash strike!
Actually, I had wanted to complete it during December, and now it's well over a month late. It's smaller than usual, as I didn't want to delay it longer. For the next issue, No. 6, please send along any material you think will be useful.
Dear all,
Greetings from Trondheim, Our Erasmus mundus masters Choreomundus

thank you very much for the news! Good luck with the Consultative body's hard work!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smooth and well.
Dear Egil,

Dear ICH NGO friends,
Greetings from Seoul.
Korea Cultrual Heritage Foundation(CHF) is seeking participants who will take part in the Project on Invitation(Joint Research for visiting officers in the field of ICH) as a part of the Cultural Partnership Initiative(CPI) Project. We are kindly asking your organization to recommend a person suitable for the Project above by March 26th 2012.
I have posted the announcement here - http://www.chf.or.kr/chf/webzine/images/1.2012 CPI Program_Official Invitation_CHF(KOR)_120229.pdf
Dear friends,
The new consultative body started preparing for the work that has to be done before our next meeting in Grenada. It was a very successful and interesting meeting which was held jointly with the subsidary body. Greetings from Paris
Egil
A belated greeting to you all after ICH 6! I have just uploaded the annual report (2011) of the NGO I work with, SIL International. Thanks to Egil for his hard work in maintaining this site.
Julie
hello from the green and warm southern Moravia! I would like to ask if anyone has a direct experience with the Register of best practices of UNESCO or at least does anyone know how the sharing of information works? I wonder if the people/institutions interested in the inscribed projects should cotntact directly the owners/organizers/responsible institutions (whose addresses can be found in the nomination documentation), etc. or if the information is provided by the UNESCO Secretatariat.
Dear friends,
Thanks Eva for the spring greetings. Nowruz was celebrated not so long ago - 21 March, and that day, in these times of climate change and awry weather patterns, does its best to remind us of the old calendars and seasons.
During the Cons Body meeting Egil and Wim and I also discussed whether we could post here in this forum, or link to, the training materials for the capacity building programme for ICH, which is under way in all the six group regions (see here): http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/index.php?pg=00326
If the Secretariat will agree, I think the NGOs can also make good use of this material, add to it and expand the learning corpus just as the trainers are doing.
Eivind and Egil - Can we ask for this permission? Rahul
As you all know, an ICH researcher forum is being set up by researchers to facilitate and discuss the role of researchers in relation to the Convention.
A first meeting is scheduled for 3 June 2012 at la Maison des Cultures du Monde (101 Boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris, France).
The website for the meeting is http://www.ichresearchers-forum.org/ and if you have any queries about it please contact Toshiyuki Kono on ich.researchers.forum@gmail.com.
The closing session of the meeting will be 'How to identify priority areas for research'. We'd like to encourage the broadest possible discussion about key areas of existing and future research. Whether or not you are attending the meeting, if you'd like to send ideas or references to existing work in advance of the meeting please email us as follows:
(a) Key publications, reports, articles, books on the principles, history and implementation of the Convention (in any language) that could form the basis of a working bibliography for the Forum. These references (with an abstract if possible) can be sent to Harriet Deacon (harriet@conjunction.co.za)
(b) Key areas of research that should be prioritized in the future to understand and/or assist in the implementation of the Convention. These suggestions can be sent to Chiara Bortolotto
(chiara.maria.bortolotto@ulb.ac.be)
All inputs will be acknowledged.
