[WSIS CS-Plenary] Phase I: Speaker nomination process (2)

[karen banks]

dear all - part 2,

this message is actually titled 'draft' - so there may have been some 
modifications before being finalised and sent to plenary..

i can't recall how the 'adhoc' selection committee was formed - but i think 
it had reps from regional caucuses (not thematic, but i might be wrong) and 
reps from the Content and themes group.. maybe someone else can recall

in the next message, a summary of the criteria that was developed by the CT 
group, or the adhoc committee - i can't recall which
