Viewing cable 08CAIRO2077, IFES PLANS SECOND TRIP WITH SUPREME ELECTORAL

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 top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • 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.

Discussing cables

SUBJECT: IFES PLANS SECOND TRIP WITH SUPREME ELECTORAL 
COMMISSION 
 
REF: CAIRO 1255 
 
1. (SBU) International Foundation for Electoral Systems 
(IFES) Country Director Jeffrey Carlson told us September 15 
there is a good chance that IFES will lead a trip with four 
members of Egypt's Supreme Electoral Commission (SEC) in 
October to India, where SEC members would meet with Indian 
counterparts on a program similar to the SEC's visit to 
Poland in June (reftel).  (Comment:  The SEC's decision to 
participate in this subsequent trip is a further breakthrough 
for IFES in its effort to engage with this key electoral 
body, and is testament to IFES' low-key, confidence-building 
approach through Egyptian partners.  End comment.) 
 
2. (SBU) Carlson also said that IFES is exploring the 
provision of a specialized electoral training module to the 
Interior Ministry in October, and plans to work with Cairo 
University on developing technical assistance programs for 
upcoming elections.  Carlson told us that IFES intends to 
pursue voter education training among syndicates and unions, 
and through its website "Aswatna," ("Our Votes") which is not 
formally identified as an IFES website.
