Dear Friend in the Fight to Abolish Modern Day Slavery:
 
The 2007 TIP reporting cycle has begun and we rely on information received from NGOs to provide a source different than the data supplied by foreign governments.  In years past, the information obtained from NGOs has significantly contributed to the tier placements of several countries. 
 
We are interested in any trafficking-related research, field work, databases, or any other pertinent information that you think would be useful in our annual assessments. We would also welcome research or information documented or drafted within the past year.   In particular, we are interested in data on trafficking trends and anti-trafficking efforts in some countries where we perceive a dearth of adequate outside information:  Mexico, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Mauritania, Mongolia, Macau, Egypt, and France.
 
The TIP Office Reports team and I are hosting a briefing for representatives of the NGO community on February 13 at the Department of State in Room 1107 from 4:00-5:30 pm.  Please RSVP to Solmaz Sharifi (202-312-9695) at SharifiS@state.gov by noon on Thursday, February 8th and include your full name, government photo identification number, and date of birth. 
 
Security processing at the Department of State is can be time consuming.  Please arrive 30 minutes before the briefing begins to allow an adequate amount of time to pass through security and to ensure you are in the room at 4:00 PM.  Please enter at the 23rd Street entrance between C St. and D St. 
 
I have attached a questionnaire for NGOs to use in compiling information for the 2007 Trafficking in Persons Report.  We realize that your time and resources are precious, but this information is crucial.  Please complete the questions for which you have information.  You may bring the survey with you to the briefing, return via email to TIPReport@state.gov, or fax to 202-312-9637 by March 1, 2007.
 
Thank you for all you do to ensure that modern day slavery is prevented, that victims are protected, and, that traffickers are put in jail. 
 
We look forward to your participation in the briefing and information collection effort. 
 
                                                            Sincerely,
 
Paula R. Goode
Acting Office Director
Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons,
U.S. Department of State
