<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>For some reasons the process of nominating speakers from IGC to IGF is
not working. And I wonder what is it that I could have done better. Suggestions
are welcome. I enclose my email dated this Monday, where I had requested for
nominations for speakers (including self-nomination). I had mentioned a couple
of guiding conditions, and also had asked for 2-4 lines of justification why
these speakers should be nominated (1) generally and (2) specifically by the
IGC. I will add something I failed to mention in the aforesaid mail. Please
also indicate the session for which the speaker is being recommended. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>It appears that the IGF secretariat may be open to consider names even
after the indicated end-date which passed yesterday, esp if it comes from an
entity like the IGC. But we need to hurry up. I propose to close taking in
names by end of tomorrow ie 15<sup>th</sup>. By tomorrow Vittorio and I will
try to come out of a small noncom, which will decide by the stated criteria
mostly regarding balance of views and other balances, and submit names on the
behalf of the IGC by 17<sup>th</sup> day end.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>To get our nominated speakers in IGF session is important both from a
‘substantive’ viewpoint, as from process viewpoint in terms
of keeping our stakeholder-ship in the whole IGF process alive and kicking.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
