[WSIS Edu] urgent: choosing speakers/choisir les speakers/escoger los "speakers"

[Meigs]

Hi Andy
Thank you for your support.

It occurs to me that there are an additional number of speakers possible, if
they have organized side events in some region of the world, something we
were told yesterday only, under the heading of "multistakeholder panels" i
think.

 If it is your case, i think you should most certainly present your case...
The idea aired  in plenary would be that such people would get to speak
about their event and a few others so as to make a more CS type of speech.

Please address your case to Bernard Loing urgently, as he is the acting
coordinator for the education taskforce at the moment.
I am mailing this to the list as it was an oversight of mine last night, not
mentioning this other option for speakers. Other members of the list  who
have also made such contributions should contact Bernard...

Don't forget that there is also the possibility of self-nomination ...

Sorry this is running so late with deadlines...
Best
Divina
