[governance] Speakers for IGF

[Parminder]

This is to clarify that this call is ONLY for nomination to main sessions at
the IGF - the four sessions on CIRs, access, diversity, and openness, plus
one on emerging issues.

 

The call is not for speakers for the workshops.

Subject: [governance] Speakers for IGF

 

Hi All

 

 

For some reasons the process of nominating speakers from IGC to IGF is not
working. And I wonder what is it that I could have done better. Suggestions
are welcome. I enclose my email dated this Monday, where I had requested for
nominations for speakers (including self-nomination). I had mentioned a
couple of guiding conditions, and also had asked for 2-4 lines of
justification why these speakers should be nominated (1) generally and (2)
specifically by the IGC. I will add something I failed to mention in the
aforesaid mail. Please also indicate the session for which the speaker is
being recommended. 

 

It appears that the IGF secretariat may be open to consider names even after
the indicated end-date which passed yesterday, esp if it comes from an
entity like the IGC. But we need to hurry up. I propose to close taking in
names by end of tomorrow ie 15th. By tomorrow Vittorio and I will try to
come out of a small noncom, which will decide by the stated criteria mostly
regarding balance of views and other balances, and submit names on the
behalf of the IGC by 17th day end.

 

To get our nominated speakers in IGF session is important both from a
'substantive' viewpoint,  as from process viewpoint in terms of keeping our
stakeholder-ship in the whole IGF process alive and kicking.

 

So I request everyone to treat this as a matter of urgent importance.

 

Parminder
