Dear all,

WBU is equal to World Blind Union and EBU is consequently =  European Blind 
Union! Here we seems to have a confusing abbreviations!

Yours

Dear Adam and Wolfgang,



suggestions are more than welcomed.



But to explain how we're currently working, WBU (World Broadcasting Union)

of which EBU is part, is currently working on a list of six moderators: one

from Asia (very likely a Japanese), one from Arabic countries (very likely

an Algerian), two from Europe (BBC and France 24), one from North America

and one from Latin America (Brazil).



As Adam very well sintetized, the main problem is the availability of that

kind of skilled professionals (usually each one of them carry on a weekly or

daily programme on the air) and the cost to support to bring them there.



Each organization of WBU support entirely their costs and this is why they

mainly come from rich countries.

Having said so, the list is still open and if you have suggestions, we are

ready to study and we can try to see what can be done.



On the contrary, if we stick to our existing list, I stress you the point

that -once finalized the list- the main problem will be to have people from

Civil Society that can properly brief our moderators. Last year we did it

thanks to the goodwill of some of you (Adam i.e.) but mainly suggestions and

briefs came from business partners.



And that was a pity.... even if I believe the moderators were quite balanced

and fair.



Giacomo

If you know the names of people who will be

attending, why not?  But as it probably costs a

lot to invite a journalist of this type I don't

see any point in taking time to discuss names

unless there's a realistic way of getting them to

Rio.



Last year I believe the european broadcasting

union brought them and I guess paid.
