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    
    Geographical Balance: Africa (2): Kenya, Senegal; Asia (3):
Thailand, Philippines, India

    Gender balance : Women (3) / Men (2)
 
     Round Tables
    Geographical Balance: Africa (1) : Senegal; Asia (4) : India, Japan,
Philippines (2); North America (1); Europe (4) : France, Germany (2),
Russian Federation
    Gender balance : Women (4) / Men (6)
 
    Plenary Sessions
    Geographical Balance: Africa (9): Cameroon (1); Guinea (1); Kenya
(2); Nigeria (1) ; Tunisia (3); South Africa (1); Zambia (1); Americas
(3):  Brazil (1), United States (2); Asia (4): Bangladesh (1), India
(1), Iran (1), Philippines (1); Europe (3): Ireland (1), France (2),
United Kingdom (1)  
    Gender balance : Women (10) / Men (12)
 
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,
 
 
Rik Panganiban
On Behalf of the Selection Committee
