[bestbits] Nominations for IGF closing and opening speakers

Sun Oct 25 10:37:59 EDT 2015

It might be nice to suggest a list of key characteristics related to a goal
before getting too bogged down in specific people (all of whom, so far, are
wonderful, and there are a few other fantastic Brazilian advocates we maybe
should add!).  For example:

1.  We want at least one of the speakers to reflect a new generation of
leaders, to illustrate how we're growing as a movement.

2.  We want a Brazilian because it would highlight the strength of NGOs in
the host country.

3.  We want someone who can aggregate disparate views from NGOs in a manner
that is coherent but reflective of our diversity

Any one person can have one or all of these characteristics -- at least for
me it would help to know what those nominating think the goal should be.
And for less well known nominees, it would help if their own organizations,
or people who know them well, could help identify the key new generation of
leaders.
