[governance] Speakers for IGF - ideas?

[Hiroshi Kawamura]

Dear Adam:

Some of the Thematic Workshops may provide you with speakers who will 
represent the contents discussed at each workshop. This will give you some 
structured sharing of outcome of the workshops. Then you may add necessary 
speakers. Please note that I don't mean that all workshop but you may select 
some of them.

Best

Hiroshi
