>> Hello,
>>
>> the good news is that civil society has speaking positions to fill 
>> for Hyderabad, two for the opening session, one for the closing 
>> session. The 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 from India. So, we may propose additional speakers from India 
>> but in 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 
>> that the IGC mailing list assumes a coordinating role and aims to put 
>> together a list of names that enjoys support from its members and 
>> other groups.
>>
>> The secretariat wishes to hear from us until Nov. 26. Can we manage 
>> this?
