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).

Hi Ginger 

I nominate Wolfgang Kleinwachter, who I think could hit the right political
notes re: IGF renewal etc.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the nominations of:
Valeria Betancourt (not confirmed)
Fatimata Seye Sylla

While these are two excellent candidates, I repeat my call for nominations
for IGC Civil Society speakers for the opening and closing main sessions at
the IGF Vilnius 2010.

We are looking for excellent and representative speakers for CS as a first
priority, and aim to help the balance of diversity in all of its facets in
the program. I understand that it is taking time to confirm availability,
but ask that nominations be submitted as soon as possible, as the IGF
Secretariat needs to finalize the program and speakers.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me/Jeremy privately.

Best, Ginger
