[governance] CS speakers for IGF opening and closing sessions

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Jenette Hoffman and IGC,

I wish to be one of the Speakers at either the opening or closing sessions
of IGF balancing my roles primarily as a citizen of the host country
individually concerned about the Internet Governance issues, as a member of
the Internet Governance Caucus and as a responsible volunteer of the ISOC
Chapter from the host country.

In this message addressed to the IGC, I am requesting the IGC Coordinators
and the Caucus to consider including my name as a Speaker eager to share
some comprehensive thoughts on the theme as well as on the significance of
Civil Society's participation in the Growth, Evolution and Governance of the
Internet, if appropriate,  or, in a topic suggested by the IGC as a topic in
line with the theme of the session.

Thank you
Sivasubramanian Muthusamy
