Dear Ellen.
‘Thank you once again for your participation in the indonesia seminar during the US elections program.
‘The participants and us here at IFES really appreciated your willingness to come and share your
‘experiences.
| am writing to ask if you are interested in making a trip out to Indonesia in mid-January. We are seeking
{an expert on the US electoral system and campaign finance to conduct discussions with Indonesian
electoral officials. This would be an opportunity to come and share experiences with the Indonesian
General Elections Commission and the Indonesian Election Supervisory Agency to help them advance
their thinking on future reforms. Two events are currently being organized: 1) a roundtable discussion
with election officials and civil society/academia on or around 14-15 January and 2) A public event on or
around 21-22 January. We would love for you to attend both events.
‘The trip would be funded by IFES and accommodation provided and we hope that you could travel to
Indonesia from 14-23 January or around those dates. f you could confirm you're availability that would
bbe much appreciated. Alternatively if there is someone is from the FEC who would be willing or able to
attend in your place, please let us know.
Kind regards,
