Dr. Govind has been invited. In both his capacities as the organiser of
APrIGF , the CEO of NIXI and following up on Anriette suggestion of
including some host country government reps. India hosted the IGF in 2008
in Hyderabad and Dr. Govind was the nodal officer for it. We have also been
provided a Chair and a speaker for this session from the host country. It
would be good to have two minute interventions from the some of the other
host countries as well. Indonesia, Azerbaijan and others on the value that
IGF has created for and in the host countries, inline with Janis's larger
call.

We have some good names from CS now.

I did ask around for the Japanese team which made an excellent presentation
at the WGEC meeting in which they did a comprehensive 8 year evaluation of
IGF. They would make for an excellent intervention in this session. Would
be grateful if you can connect us with them.

We want the panel to be balanced, relevant and diverse.

Also a connect with Prof. Ang Peng Hwa (Singapore) would also be great.

We're trying to not repeat people from the same networks and organisations.

Thanks again for your input. Sending the updated draft shortly. An early
response from you would be much appreciated.

Regards

Subi
