[Risgchairs] update on RISG activities

[Igshaan Samuels]

Dear RISG chairs

I hope you are all doing well.

We had a GCG meeting on 13 Feb 2023 but not all RISGs were represented. I
thereby urge all RISG chairs to ensure that at least one person in your
coordinating group attends the GCG meetings as very important matters are
discussed.

I would like to request the following from all the regions:

   - A brief update on IYRP related activities from Nov 2022 to the end of
   Feb 2023. We would like to populate an update for the IYRP ISG.
   - A representative from your region (any member of your RISG) who will
   be part of the IYRP  fundraising team. We already had some good suggestions
   on how to raise funds for the IYRP.
   - Names of any interested person who would like to be part of a small
   IYRP group that will assist in the organisation/planning of the Traditional
   Knowledge Forum in 2025 in Australia. This activity will be led by our
   Australian colleagues and we will support them. We hope that this forum
   that will take place a few days before the IRC in Australia will be
   attended by pastoralists and other traditional knowledge holders from
   different regions of the world. We thus need to assess how we can assist by
   raising funds for pastoralists to attend.
   - Lastly, names of any person who might be interested in being part of
   the Indigenous Oversight Committee by providing inputs and assisting with
   the scope for this forum as well as other IRC 2025 events.

I still need to finalize the minutes of the last GCG meeting, but I can
send you a link to the recording if you need further explanations.

Kind regards
Igshaan
