So... let's start the discussion. (Still copying the plenary, but I 
agree we should move it to the Working Methods WG.)

I do not know what was done for the first Summit two years ago, but the 
first question I would pose is: which kind of people do we want as speakers?

Do we want people that have a high personal profile or are even "famous"?

Do we want people that can represent the different caucuses?

Do we want people that are particularly good at public speaking?

Do we want people that have been particularly active on the specific 
issues they should talk about?

Possibly, we want a bit of everything, but agreeing on a set of criteria 
and on their relative importance is the first step.

Also, I am not sure whether we already have a list of issues that our 
interventions will need to address, whether we are free to work it out 
on our own, or whatever. I think that the list of issues influences the 
list of speakers, so we should try to have some clear idea on that as well.
