Great news. Although I really don't see any reason why the "selection
committee" receives an answer regarding a nomination he hasn't made.
In any case, on behalf of the HR caucus, I would like to thank you to
all for your support.
I'll send in any case the final list, for the record.
Best regards,
Meryem

Subject: RE: Speaker Background Notes and Recommendation of Ms. Ebadi
Dear Civil Society Selection Committee,
I hereby inform you that Secretary-General of ITU Mr. Utsumi decided
to nominate Ms. Shirin Ebadi as the opening speaker on behalf of
Civil Society. Ms. Renate Bloem, who had been nominated as the
opening speaker in the initial list, was invited to speak in the
General debate. At the same time, we were informed that Mr. Roberto
Bissio was not available for the Tunis Summit.
The second list of Plenary speakers from Civil Society will be
announced by the end of next week.
With my best regards
