<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear GCG Members<div><br></div><div>Following on the minutes that Ann has kindly sent, please find attached two documents to help you with the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">"to do's"</span>.. </div><div><br></div><div>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 <b>feedback in track changes by 30th August 2021. </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>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, <b>your feedback by 10th September 2021 </b>to me would be greatly appreciated - after which I will collate the feedback for everyone. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you and best regards</div><div><br></div><div>--<br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Dr. Maryam Niamir-Fuller<div>Vice Chair of International Support Group for the IYRP</div><div><a href="https://iyrp.info/" target="_blank">https://iyrp.info</a></div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial">Support the call for an International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists! <a href="https://www.iyrp.info/" target="_blank">https://www.iyrp.info</a></span></i><i><span style="font-size:10pt"><u></u><u></u></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img width="277" height="81" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D75535.1B3477D0" alt="signature_625749796" style="width: 2.8854in; height: 0.8437in;"></p></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 2:40 PM Ann Waters-Bayer <<a href="mailto:waters-bayer@web.de" target="_blank">waters-bayer@web.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>Here are the minutes of the IYRP Global Coordination Group (GCG) meeting that was held on Thursday19 August.
