Dear all,

Below is a copy of the message just forwarded to Lilliane Ursache at the
ITU.

We now have to work on finalising the roundtable speakers list. As you
will 
see, we have asked for one more day to prioritise (and shorten) the 
roundtable list from some 28 - to 16.

Our proposal is for the Content and Themes regional caucuses and
relevant 
working groups, to help us by:

(1) prioritising speaker nominations around your issue focus -
nominating a 
first nomination, and a backup
(2) nominate which of the 4 roundtables you are proposing the speaker
for 
(roundtable information is summarised below, but more information is
online 
here:

french: http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs/geneva/rt/info_roundtables-fr.doc
spanish: http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs/geneva/rt/info_roundtables-es.doc

** Please respond to this message by __1700 London time today__ in the 
CT at wsis-cs.org list and not the plenary at wsis-cs.org list **

We will post a final list in plenary after consultation.

best to all
karen
