Well, we could (should?) have asked some commitments to our speakers 
before appointing them, but in any case it is the ITU, not us, that 
formally chooses them, right?

In any case, we could for example ask all speakers to release a draft of 
their intervention by, say, one week before the Summit, to the Plenary 
list, so that the drafts can be commented and they can then incorporate 
reasonable suggestions. I think this is a reasonable request, in view of 
the role that we are giving them.
