If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

POSITION 
 
REF: STATE 71964 
 
This message is sensitive but unclassified.  Please handle 
accordingly. 
 
1. (U) ESTH discussed U.S. candidacy for position of 
vice-chair on the UNAIDS Program Coordinating Board (PCB) for 
the 2007-08 cycle with representatives of the Foreign 
Ministry (DFAIT) and provided the demarche to Health 
Canada,s International Affairs group.  We are seeking to 
discuss our interest in the position also with the Canadian 
International Development Agency, which actually leads on 
UNAIDS for the GOC. 
 
2. (SBU) DFAIT reports that Canada, since they are not on the 
PCB, would not put forth a candidate for the position.  Our 
interlocutors continued that U.S. candidacy appears 
appropriate and there appears no reason they would not 
support our candidacy, even though Canada does not 
technically have a "vote."  Our DFAIT contacts were aware 
that other countries might be interested but did not express 
their views on other possible canadidates. 
 
3. (SBU) While Canada seems to be favorably disposed towards 
the U.S. candidacy (believing, for example, that it is the 
turn of a non-European donor to take the position), we will 
continue to follow up with CIDA and DFAIT and report as 
additional information becomes available.
