hi

On the issue of summit speakers, thanks to those of you who supported my 
nomination of Anriette - but the responding thread (particularly from 
laina, vittorio, wolfgang etc) highlighted a misunderstanding (well, as it 
seemws from my perspective).

Caucuses, working groups and families were all invited to nominate speakerS 
- as in plural - for the opening ceremony, high level panels, roundtables etc.

I nominated anriette as one name that i assumed would join a list of other 
nominations from the caucus - but the reactions fo a few indicate that 
maybe people thought that by supporting anriette (or any one person) it 
would exclude others from being nominated.

Nonetheless, when i look through the list of nominations that have come 
from civil society, many IG caucus members are there, being nominated 
through 'families' and other CS elements - i have certainly seen (but only 
recalling from memory):

wolfgang
bill
izumi
jeanette

The CSB speaker nomination committee prepared a short list last night which 
will be presented to us in our last C and T meeting this afternoon. Once 
that is finalised, we'd then need to work out which speakers would be best 
where - i imagine dealing with the high level panels and roundtables 
(unless an IG member was nominated for opening ceremony.

hope this clarifies any misunderstandings or assumptions..

karen
