Maybe I've got the nomenclature wrong but I'm on a panel for a Workshop as
well so that probably eliminates me.

Milton
While I greatly thank Meryem for nominating me, and you too for your kind
words, I myself am going by the criterion that those of us who are already
on other plenary panels should not be speaking at opening/ closing
ceremonies. So, you are right I must not be considered.
In fact, Milton, your name is not in the list put out by Ian only because we
know that youd be on the IPv6 panel. I say this just to reiterate that this
criterion is already being applied.
