[governance] Speakers for IGF - ideas?

[Adiel A. Akplogan]

I would like to suggest Raul Echeberria and Alain P. Aina in
the critical Infrastructure Panel.

>Some time very soon someone will need to decide on speakers for the 
>IGF main sessions.
>
>The IGF in Rio starts in about 10 weeks, there is no money to bring 
>people (to the best of my knowledge.)  There was general sense from 
>the review of the Athens IGF that panels should be smaller, 4, 5 or 
>6 people, not the 12-16 we saw in Athens.
>
>The panels must be acceptable to all stakeholders, we should all 
>feel our views have an opportunity to be represented.  Somehow these 
>4, 5 or 6 people should represent stakeholder, gender, geographic 
>diversity, and of course be expert on the issues.
>
>It would be very helpful to hear suggestions as to how to form these 
>panels. Perhaps we will be able to find panelists from among the 
>workshop participants? Or, can we --the caucus and others-- suggest 
>individuals, expert on Critical Internet Resources, Access, 
>Security, Openness and Diversity, for these panels?
>
>Anyone suggested should already be planning to be in Rio.
>
>Ideas much appreciated.
>
>There is not time for a neat, open, democratic process. Time ran out 
>with the delay in renewing the MAG's membership.  And I don't know 
>how the advisory group's discussions on speaker selection will pan 
>out over the next two days.  So if we make suggestions I can't make 
>any promise they'll be accepted.  But we can try, and apologies in 
>advance if the suggestions can't be taken up.
>
>Thanks,
