Re: List of Confirmed Participants - Poverty Reduction and ICTs Roundtable

Hi Shem I have had a good look at the draft programme that we shared with the lists earlier and I have made a couple of changes for one if we are talking about an ICT for poverty reduction round table we must allow for more time for plenary discussions. So I have reduced the panellists time to 6 minutes each and more time to plenary discussions Secondly PS Rege can not act as a moderator. Rather he should officiate the opening. So have altered that as well. We also do not need to have more than one moderator for each session. I have therefore removed myself from the responsibilities of moderating the morning session.
