Dear all For all those from civil society planning to attend the India IGF in December. best alice
From: Jeanette Hofmann <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [governance] CS speakers for IGF opening and closing sessions
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?
