    Dear Civil Society Selection Committee,


    I hereby inform you that Secretary-General of ITU Mr. Utsumi decided to nominate Ms. Shirin Ebadi as the opening speaker on behalf of Civil Society.  Ms. Renate Bloem, who had been nominated as the opening speaker in the initial list, was invited to speak in the General debate. At the same time, we were informed that Mr. Roberto Bissio was not available for the Tunis Summit.


    The second list of Plenary speakers from Civil Society will be announced by the end of next week.


    With my best regards
