[WSIS CS-Plenary] Shirin Ebadi Nomination - Deadline for supports

[djilali benamrane]

Dear all,
It is our responsability to select who is able to
speak on our behalf and i am happy of our consensus on
Shirin Ebadi nomination. I support it.
But it is also our responability and our duty and
credibility to give to somebody who is going to speak
on our behalf some information on what we would like
to be said.
I definitly refuse speach like during Geneva meeting
when the main part of CS speaker related to thanks and
issues not directly connected to our concern.
I am quite sure that among those who plead for total
liberty of expression they give without transparency
orientation and advices to CS speakers.
Let's be transparent, let's give in transparency
elements to our speaker and if he decide to not follow
 our request we will see what to do for the future. 
All the best
