color:#595959">I raised this issue already but like to draw your attention
again. For some organisations or companies it is not possible to decide on such
an early stage who will participate in a session in October. Among them are
organisations like the European Commission or ETNO. I have been informed that
they will participate in our workshop (no. 40), but can only decide on a later
stage which person will be sent to Bali. I assume this is not only the case for
our session, but applies also to other organisers.<p></p></span></p>

Workshop Proponent, </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Kindly note
that the final deadline for editing your workshop proposal(s) is 18 July 2013.
Once this date has passed, you will not be able to make changes to your proposal(s)
anymore, including panellists registration and confirmation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Please also
bear in mind that registering the name of an organization is not sufficient.
Each panellist should be an individual. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We thank you
for your continued interest in IGF and valued contribution to IGF 2013. </span><br />

IGF Secretariat</span></p><p></p>
