[governance] Advisory Group agrees on a balanced panel of experts - Speakers

[Ian Peter]

Just supporting Milton's call -

Without independent experts, the panels will be boring and lacking in
substance.

Qusai:
The Internet Governance Project has been focusing on critical internet
resources from a critical perspective for some time. Experts associated with
it include myself, Brenden Kuerbis (who will lead a panel on DNSSEC in Rio),
Jeanette Hofmann, Lee McKnight and Hans Klein. 

I note that almost all the other speaker suggestions are associated with
vested interests in critical internet resources (IANA, ISOC, RIRs). This is
not criticism of those people, nor is it intended to suggest that such
people, who are often very knowledgeable and have good ideas, should not be
represented. But it would be a travesty of an independent and open dialogue
if the only people given a voice on such a panel were the people who have
their own institutions and organizations and their policies to defend. We
need some independent perspectives.
