> I am the Secretary General of the Barbados Association of Non Governmental
> Organisations (BANGO) has been playing the role of Secretariat for
> organisations since its inception in 1997. BANGO was established
> specifically to play this role and has been the National Focal point for
> Civil Society in Barbados; officially recognised by government in this

> knowledge from the grassroots to impact on national policy, as well as to
> ensure that they are always well informed.

> BANGO is also the secretariat for the Non State Actors (NSA) Panel of
> Barbados, which is made up of NGOs, Labour, Private Sector organisations,

> BANGO has been fulfilling the role of secretariat for NGOs in Barbados since

> ACP countries. In its role as secretariat for several developments and
> initiatives, BANGO has many years experience interfacing with governments,
> national agencies, regional bodies and agencies as well as international
> agencies.
>
> In its role as Secretariat for the NSA Panel, we have been interfacing with
> the European Union and actually negotiated the establishment of the Panel
> between 2005 -2007. The reason for the Panel was to enhance civil society
> participation in the EU/ACP Development Cooperation process, governed by the
> Cotonou Partnership Agreement 2000. In negotiating this mechanism, the EU in
> Barbados duplicated these panels in the six countries making up the OECS,
> since it has responsibility for Barbados and the OECS. Hence this initiative
> served to enhance participation in seven countries all at once.
>
> We have worked with the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) of the United
> Nations (UN) to establish a secretariat for a national and a regional focal
> committee for the small grants fund and actually established these
> mechanisms within the UNDP System. The secretariat became fully operational,
> with BANGO prescribing the terms of references and other arrangements to
> establish this secretariat and actually managed the secretariat for a year
> to establish the standards of operation, before handing it over to the GEF
> fully operational.
>
> We also helped Government establish a Bureau for Returning Nationals, which
> gives certain benefits and exemptions to nationals returning home to live
> and assists them with fully relocating.
>
> We employ various skills for our secretariat work, including legal services,
> secretarial services, graphic artists, researchers, facilitators, trainers,
> etc., including a team of proposal writers; depending on what is required.

> As advocates and negotiators, we heavily involve our constituencies, because
> we strongly believe in win-win solutions to issues and we have learned many
> lessons as it relates to coming to consensus on diverse issues and ensuring
> that all voices are heard and considered within any national policy and
> decision-making exercise.
>
> We have led many teams of NGOs into consultations and negotiations with
> governments and their institutions as well as international agencies. Of
> note are: Coordinating the national civil society consultation of 2000;
> leading the Barbados delegation to the Forward Together Conference and
> Encounter with the Heads of Governments of CARICOM in 2002; Led the
> initiatives of the CARICOM Civil Society Task Force 2002-2003; 2005 National
> Civil Society Consultations; The civil society national report to the UN
> Human Rights Commission and also now national coordinator for the new UN
> Human Rights Reporting System.

> I would say that we understand the critical role a secretariat plays,
> especially in documenting information, collating reports, keeping minutes,
> guiding meetings based on evidence and/or research, interpreting rules and
> generally assisting in the implementation of decisions.
>
> I therefore come along with BANGO as an ALS with considerable experience as
> a secretariat. BANGO has been a member of LACRALO from its inception and has
> been an ALS for much longer. We have been following all along and have
> accumulated an archive of information over this time. Hence I was able to

> best of my ability knowing the background of what I was participating in.

> Having seen what is happening to LACRALO and knowing that this is simply a
> problem of communications and structure, I offer my services to get to the

> America that one could have a conversation with and be very good friends

> BANGO’s success rests on its performance as a secretariat at the national,

> You are being called upon to vote for a Secretariat. A knowledge of and
> participation in LACRALO is no guarantee of the effectiveness or efficiency
> of a Secretariat. Many of you have this experience but the matter of an
> proper functioning Secretariat that will not only maintain the high standard
> set by the present secretariat but will seek to take that professionalism
> one step further for LACRALO is what is required.
>
> A vote for me, is a vote for the stability, cooperation and collaboration

> Question 2:
> For the record, one of the secretariat’s responsibilities has to do with
> translation. What do you expect to do so that translations are expedited and
> we can comment on public documents before the end of the public comment
> period?
>
> Translation is important for there to be participation. Translation also

> Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Civil Society Forum, where the official
> languages are English and French, there are many languages in which
> documents must also be translated in order to facilitate participation
> across Africa and in the Caribbean. We rely on a central translation team
> located in Brussels, plus there are many members who volunteer for
> translation. This is all coordinated by our secretariat to ensure that the
> timely delivery of translated documents.
>
> In the case of ICANN, resources must be allocated by ICANN for such an
> important aspect (similar to the ACP). However, in terms of LACRALO, we have
> in Barbados, the Venezuelan Institute which is part of the Venezuelan
> embassy in Barbados and they offer free courses in Spanish and we can rely
> on them to assist us with translation. We also have some volunteers who are
> part of BANGO that can assist us.
>
> Question 3
> How will you ensure that the good work of the Secretariat is maintained? How
> you can track the constant and ongoing management you made?
>
> First, once elected, I will ensure that we are properly briefed by the
> present Secretariat so that we become even more familiar with the procedures
> and processes. This will be to ensure that the standard of the secretariat
> is maintained at the high level at which it is operating.
>
> BANGO is very familiar with the elements that make for a good secretariat,
> given that we have over 15 years of experience in the field. We have staff
> to assist us that will make for a quick and efficient handing over of the
> Secretariat, if elected.
