[governance] Speakers for IGF - new faces?

[michael gurstein]

Adam,

You say below that "this ("no money to bring anyone") should not have
been allowed to happen" implying that it is a situation that could have
been prevented.

Could you elaborate on what steps you see as having been possible (in
the past but for the future) that would have led to a different result?

MG

Veni, this is very true.

But that you have just said "we are trying to send some new people to 
the IGF. While we can't define names today..." is a nice example of 
the problem. Can't select someone as a speaker unless you know they 
are going. The meeting starts pretty soon (less than 8 weeks?)

It is not at all pleasing to write "We have no money to bring anyone, 
the meeting starts in 8 weeks.  Suggest only recommending people who 
are going to be there (or have a very good chance of being there.)" 
This situation should not have been allowed to happen.

Adam
