[Iyrp-gcg] Minutes of IYRP Global Coordination Group (GCG) meeting on 19 August 2021

[Sarah McDonald]

Hi Maryam,

The Australasia RISG is supportive of the idea of a global trust fund for the IYRP, although do not have much feedback on your document/questions at this stage. A key message raised was the importance of trust and transparency in the management of this fund – this will be key to its success, perhaps using existing (non-government) organisations to manage this who are experienced in such things.

We are happy to provide further feedback as this develops.
Regards,
Sarah

Dear GCG Members

Following on the minutes that Ann has kindly sent, please find attached two documents to help you with the "to do's"..

1.  On Agenda 2, we request RISG Chairs to kindly review the attached "raw table" that analyzed every single letter (43 in total) that in one way or another expressed a concrete commitment to doing something for IYRP. The document includes the standards for costing each activity into equivalent USD that were discussed. The last column is a cut and paste from the letters themselves, but if you need to see the original letters, please just let me know separately.  Please remember to verify not only the costing, but also whether it is indirect (black) or fresh funding (red). If you recommend changing the standard costing to take regional differences into account, then please note these in a separate document. For those RISG Chairs who were not able to join the GCG meeting, please read the Minutes as they give a good detailed clarification of this exercise (you are most welcome to contact me anyway). I would be grateful for your feedback in track changes by 30th August 2021.

2.  Still on Agenda 2, we agreed that the GCG members would start to explore the idea of establishing a Global Trust Fund for IYRP. As there are many questions still left on why, how, what, and when, I have pulled together a short one-page of "questions" that you are most welcome to use in your consultations.  We would like to discuss this issue again at the next GCG meeting, therefore, your feedback by 10th September 2021 to me would be greatly appreciated - after which I will collate the feedback for everyone.

Thank you and best regards
