[WSIS CS-Plenary] proposed list of speakers for Tunis

[Laina Raveendran Greene]

Hi Rik,
 
I did send you another note, but thought for transparency sake, would ask on
this list. I notice some organisations got more than 2  slots with some
persons speaking more than once and some caucuses also more than 1. There is
none from our caucus and I just wanted to know was there are reason for this
kind of distribution. I know you have all the answers :> so I thought I
would ask.
 
Thanks,
Laina

Dear Friends,
?
Please find attached the list of suggested nominees to be delivered to the
ITU for their consideration for the various speaking slots in Tunis, as
compiled by the selection committee which met until very late last night.
For your recollection, at the Plenary Session yesterday morning, you
approved of a selection committee to narrow down the list of applicants
composed of the following individuals:

?? ?1 representative from each regional group
?? ?1 representative of the CS Content and Themes
?? ?1 representative of the CS Bureau 
?? ?1 representative of the WSIS Executive Secretariat in an advisory
capacity
?
The Committee worked hard to achieve several ?balances? including regional,
gender, age, linguistic, and thematic.? We also worked hard to make sure
that all caucuses and working groups that proposed names had at least one of
their nominations included.? You see here the regional and gender breakdown
of the nominees:
?
?? ?Opening Ceremony
?? ?Gender: man (1) /? woman (1)
?? ?Geographical Balance: Europe (1): Germany; Africa (1): Mali
?
?? ?High Level Panel ? ?

There were many wonderful nominations, and narrowing down the list was a
very difficult and painful task.? However we feel confident that the current
list is a good one that we hope meets with your approval.

Sincerely,
