Significant time was spent in outlining <strong>the</strong> strategic lines <strong>and</strong> challenges in<br />

<strong>the</strong> region <strong>and</strong> creating mechanisms for a more fluid articulation that may<br />

We thank <strong>the</strong> <strong>FLC</strong> for allowing Cecilia to hold this meeting, since <strong>the</strong> trip to<br />

Puerto Rico allowed her to stop in <strong>the</strong> Dominican Republic, thus optimizing<br />

resources available for <strong>the</strong> meeting that took place two days earlier in San<br />

Juan, Puerto Rico.<br />
