[WSIS CS-Plenary] Fwd: [WSIS-CT] >>> Urgent <<< - Selecting speakers (2 of 2) -- Proposal

[Adam Peake]

Part 1 of Bill's mail was text of Utsumi's letter describing the 
speaking slots -- Liliane Ursache sent this document to the plenary 
list on Oct 28, subject "Guidelines for Identification of Speakers" 
so not repeated again.

Part 2 below is important on the process for allocating slots. 
Spanish translation will follow.

Thanks,

Adam
