Civil Society Movement Against Tuberculosis in Sierra Leone (CISMAT-SL) is a 
Civil Society led movement, non-profit making and a coalition of Civil Society 
Organizations working on the campaign against tuberculosis in Sierra Leone in 
order to promote the involvement of Civil Society groups in TB campaigns and 
increase advocacy efforts for the prevention, early diagnosis and care and 
control of TB in Sierra Leone. 
 
Realizing that TB is the leading cause of death among people living with HIV 
which is the most important risk factor for developing TB. Almost one in four 
deaths among people with HIV is due to TB.  The implementation of collaborative 
TB/HIV activities including the Three Is and earlier initiation of ART is 
proven to prevent unnecessary deaths among people living with HIV. However, the 
scale up of implementation of activities particularly the Three Is for HIV/TB 
(Isoniazid preventive therapy, intensified case finding for TB, and Infection 
control) is very low. For example by the end of 2009 only 5% of all people 
living with HIV were screened for TB and less than 1% are provided with 
isoniazid preventive therapy. 
 
Recognized of the fact that HIV/AIDS is fueling a resurgence of TB in many 
areas of the world particularly Sierra Leone. Global incidence of TB has 
increased over the past 10 years, killing approximately 2 million people 
annually. At the same time, TB is a leading cause of death by infectious 
disease for people living with HIV/AIDS. Yet when contrasted with the extent of 
social mobilization around HIV/AIDS, the lack of political commitment and Civil 
Society involvement to TB control is striking.

Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency's (“NPOC”) Request for ICANN 
Board Assistance with Membership Approval and Recent Elections




Hi All,
 
Below and attached the final letter NPOC submitted to the ICANN Board regarding 
the reluctance of some NCSG Executive Council members to review and approve
 NPOC organization applicants to formally join the NCSG (and thereby receive 
voting rights). 

 
It is very important that NPOC members participate in next Tuesday’s (October 
25, 2011) NCSG meeting with the ICANN Board in Dakar, Senegal.  Remote meeting
 participation is provided: http://dakar42.icann.org/node/26917.  This webpage 
also has a link to generate a calendar appointment which will automatically 
convert the meeting time to your local time (very helpful!).
 
We will keep you posted!
