[governance] CS speakers for IGF opening and closing sessions

[Ian Peter]

Thanks Jeanette!

I suggest we have until midnight Saturday (23rd) to nominate names. That
will give the committee a little time to finalise the list and inform the
Secretariat before the deadline.

So please give thought to suggested speakers and place them on the list
before then. Thanks for all the suggestions to date - if your name has been
suggested and you are either unwilling or not attending, can you let us
know?

More suggestions for speakers who can represent civil society please!
