[WSIS CS-Plenary] HR caucus proposes Shirin Ebadi to speak at WSIS opening

[west]

Dear All,

During the prepcom 3 , Ms. Ebadi was in Geneva and I met her and actually 
requested her to be one of the main speakers, to be proposed by our regional 
family. Unfortunately she is engaged in other programmes and trips and she 
couldn't made it, I don't know did any of you called her again or not or she 
have some changes in her plans. But I could check again, anyway to my 
information she is not available.

Regards

Amir

>>The HR caucus has asked Shirin Ebadi if she would be willing to speak

>>We would be very pleased however to include support from other caucuses

>>If you want to support this nomination, please sent a message to me
