[governance] CS speakers for IGF opening and closing sessions

[Ian Peter]

I think its important we respond to this as a group, and I also think its
important that the names we put forward are people we know will do a good
job. Jeanette, would you be willing to join the co-ordinators in a small
committee to vet names put forward on this list? And if anyone else would
like to join this small group to co-ordinate a list of names to go forward
could you drop me or Parminder a line?

If that's acceptable, we can ask people to nominate names for consideration
here. I would like to begin that process by putting forward for
consideration Anriette Esterhuysen.

> Hello,

> the good news is that civil society has speaking positions to fill for

> bad news is that we have only one week to send a list of names to the
> secretariat.
> 
> The secretariat would welcome a list with more than three names to have
> some flexibility for regional balancing.
> Considering the context, we need accomplished speakers with standing in
> civil society.
> Gender balance is taken seriously, names of female speakers are
> particularly welcome!

> I have been told that the two speakers from the private sector are both

> terms of regional balance, suggestions for speakers from Africa and
> Latin America may be more successful.
> 
> Everyone is encouraged to distribute this call for speakers. And, of
> course, everyone is free to send suggestions for speakers to the
> secretariat directly. However, for practical reasons I would suggest

> groups.
> 
> The secretariat wishes to hear from us until Nov. 26. Can we manage this?
