It is unreasonable, and it<br />is part of why we all see the same voices over represented every year:<br />session organisers choose people they know will be there because these<br />deadlines make that the only choice they have.<br /><br /><br /><br />sandra hoferichter <sandra.hoferichter@freenet.de> wrote:<br /><br />Am I the only one who has a problem with such early timelines?

I<br />have been informed that they will participate in our workshop (no.<br />40), but can only decide on a later stage which person will be sent<br />to Bali. I assume this is not only the case for our session, but<br />applies also to other organisers.<br /><br />While I can understand the demand, to get things sorted out on an<br />early stage, I consider this way of moving forward is not feasible.<br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br />Sandra Hoferichter<br /><br

Once this date has passed, you will not<br />be able to make changes to your proposal(s) anymore, including<br />panellists registration and confirmation.<br /><br />Please also bear in mind that registering the name of an<br />organization is not sufficient. Each panellist should be an individual.<br /><br />We thank you for your continued interest in IGF and valued<br />contribution to IGF 2013.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />IGF Secretariat</blockquote><br /><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
