special consultative status for the International
Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission
(IGLHRC), along with Senator Ron Wyden
(D-OR) and Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand
(D-NY).
The letter was written in response to a
successful motion of “no action” on the call
for a vote to decide on the consultative status
application of IG LH R C during the June Non-
Governmental Organization Committee of
ECO SO C.
“O ur understanding is that this was an
extraordinary use of the no-action motion to
prevent the N G O Committee from making
a decision on an N G O ’s application and this
should be allowed to stand,” the letter read. “It
would be very unfortunate if this procedural
mechanism would be used to prevent an N G O
that is highly regarded by the U.S. Department
of State and the human rights community
from being fully considered from consultative
status.”
The IG LH R C is committed to combating
discrimination based on sexual orientation and
gender identity in civil, political, economic,
social and cultural rights.

more pleased with the turnout at this year’s
event, with over 27 teams and almost 115 par
ticipants taking part in the tourney.

year, to grow so much,” said Howard. “The
atmosphere was light and fun and the games
all ran on schedule. More women came out to
play in the tournament, we had at least double
the spectators watching and almost double the
companies sponsoring the tournament.”

tered, the Portland Energy took first place and
