[governance] CS speaker suggestions for the opening and closing

[Norbert Klein]

I share this suggestion to nominate Wolfgang Kleinwaechter in view of
the IGF renewal issue - he has been involved in the recent regional
(informal) IGF consultations, not only in Europe, but also in Asia.

I say so because I think the Vilnius meeting - though not a decision
making body - will provide crucial input into the debate about the
future of the IGF (where many of our various, other concerns are located).
