[Evolintgov2014] Query: [IGFmaglist] IGF Main Session - Evolution of IG Ecosystem-Update

[Izumi AIZU]

Very sorry for this very late intervention.

Looking at the list of names below, I see very few people from Asia and
Pacific, especially East Asia, South East Asia and South Asia as well as
Pacific Islands.

I see no Chinese or Indian, considering the user population, it is better
to include them.


For Government, only Mohammed Al Qurashi (KSA) - from Saudi Arabia which is
more of Middle East than Asia Pacific.

I would suggest someone from any other Asian countries - say China, Hong
Kong, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia etc.
 Dr. Govind (India) - just hosted APrIGF in Delhi - will be very good.

Amongst Private Sector, Technical Community and Civil Society, I see
Zahid from Pakistan, Geoff Huston from Australia and Adam Peake (Japan/UK).
I am not opposing to any single individuals at all, but having them all
three
seem too Caucasian oriented, (sorry to bring this), no Oriental or Asian or
Pacific
people there.

We have good candidates here again, people like:

Edmon Chung (Hong Kong), Ang Peng Hwa (Singapore), Hong Xue (China),
Ram Mohan (India), Rajesh Chharia (India), Rajnesh D Singh, (Fiji), Hongbin
Chu, (China), Anja Kovacs (India) YJ Park (korea).

Again sorry for this belated response, but I hope some of the factors be
included.

I didn't put any Japanese as I don't want to make this a kind of selfish
intervention, but there are also good candidates from Japan ;-)
