<b>主题:</b> [IYRPsupportgroup] Mail to IYRP list asking about interest to join regional support groups for IYRP<br>
<br>
Dear all,
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
FYI this mail and attachment is what we have sent out to the IYRP mailing list, which is made up of people who notified Jim four years ago that they were interested in being kept updated about the IYRP plus people who sent letters of support or commitment to the Mongolian proposal for an IYRP and people who sent materials, including logos, for the IYRP promotional website (<a _href="http://www.iyrp.info">www.iyrp.info</a>).
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Most of you have already responded to Jim as to whether or not you want to be in one or more of the regional groups, but if there are any of you who have not expressed interest thus far but would indeed like to be active in one or more regional groups, then please let me know. I am revising the regional lists and the IYRP mailing list as feedback comes in (including quite a few bounces).
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
This is turning out to be a very time-consuming activity, and Barbara and I will be very glad when the mailing lists are “finalised”. Barbara has posted all the information about the regional groups in the five languages we have thus far on the archival website (<a _href="https://globalrangelands.org/international-year-rangelands-and-pastoralists-initiative">https://globalrangelands.org/international-year-rangelands-and-pastoralists-initiative</a>) under a new drop-down menu for “Regional IYRP Support Groups”.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Cheers,
</div>
<div>
Ann

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">Dear all,</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">In the
distant or recent past, you showed interest in the campaign for an
International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP). In case you have
not heard already: the Mongolian Government’s proposal for an IYRP in 2026 was
endorsed in early October by the Committee on Agriculture (COAG) of the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). See </span><a _href="https://www.iyrp.info/un-process"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";">https://www.iyrp.info/un-process</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;"> for a press release about this in several languages.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">The campaign was supported by a very strong and
worldwide network of more than 150 civil society, pastoralist and public- and
private-sector organizations and more than 50 governments. This network could
be leveraged even more strongly in the run-up to the UN General Assembly in
September 2021 (when the decision will be made on final approval of the IYRP)
by creating regional nodes of communication and cooperation, supported by the
IYRP International Support Group (ISG), FAO and others at global level, and by
the Government of Mongolia, the Mongolian National Support Group (NSG) and
others at regional and national levels. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">Attached you will find a preparatory plan proposed by
the ISG for such “Regional IYRP Support Groups” (RISGs) in English, Arabic,
French, Russian and Spanish. A Chinese version is still in the making. These
will all be posted on the archival IYRP website (</span><a _href="https://globalrangelands.org/international-year-rangelands-and-pastoralists-initiative"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;">https://globalrangelands.org/international-year-rangelands-and-pastoralists-initiative</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">).<o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">In this proposed plan, you</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;"> will see that the RISGs would not only activate support from
all countries and regions of the world for the IYRP proposal that will be
considered by the UN General Assembly in September 2021; they would also be
planning activities that will take place prior to and during the Year.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">Since
you have shown interest in this effort, we would like to invite you to
participate in one or more of the regional groups. Please let us know in
which regional group(s) you would like to be active.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">However,
if you have “moved on” and would like us to delete your address from this IYRP
mailing list, please let us know. Also, because some people are in the list
with more than one address, please indicate which address(es) you want to
retain in the list.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;">
<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;">This is
an exciting time after many years of working toward this goal, and we certainly
would welcome you to join with us as we move forward.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span>
