Re: [hr-wsis] Re: Proposal - Speakers list for the summit
There must then be something unclear to me: you circulated two lists in
your message to the plenary list of Friday 30 sept 2005 17:21:37:
- One in a .doc file named "speakerstunis09305.doc"
- One in a .xls file named "NomineesPlenary093005.xls"
I've understood that the first is the selected list, the second
containing people nominated but not selected. Bruna Faidutti does
appear on the second.
If both lists together constitute the result of the selection process,
then first I apologize for my error and second could you please let me
know where I can find the list of all proposals received by the
selection committee, thanks.
In any case, this doesn't change the proposal I made in my earlier
message.

Dear all,
Those of you who are subscribers to the CS plenary list may have
noted that the proposed list of speakers for the summit is currently
under hot discussion: not only the nomination process is at stake
(specially since CS hasn't had enough time to propose speakers, see a
very interesting note from Robert Guerra on this issue), but the
result isn't really agreed by all, to say the least. I share these
many concerns.
One speaker has been proposed by the caucus (Bruna Faidutti, from the
Geneva office of the WFUNA, proposed by Jane and Ginger), and her
name hasn't been selected.
Another speaker (myself) has also been proposed by the caucus, but
apparently too late to be taken into account in the list of proposed
speakers.
I would like to thank Rikke, who proposed my name, and all of you who
supported this proposal. However, I have no intention to speak at the
summit (not to mention the fact that I would never be selected, being
confident that there would be many objections, specially from the
Tunisian side, as well as from some CSB members side (as attacks
directed towards the caucus have shown during prepcom1 - Hammamet -
prepcom2 and prepcom3. Rikke and myself have personnaly been the
targets of such unacceptable attacks).
I have another idea, that I would like to share with you, so that it
could become an HR caucus proposal if no objections are risen
(otherwise, it would be a proposal from some members of our caucus).
Some of us are trying to check with Shirin Ebadi, a woman, Iranian,
human rights defender, 2003 peace Nobel prize winner, if she would be
available for the summit. We would hopefully hear from her tomorrow.
Some of you may remember that Shirin has been an option considered
for the Geneva summit by CS as a whole. But she was unavailable at
that time for a very good reason, i.e. she was in Oslo to receive her
prize !
More info at: http://nobelprize.org/peace/laureates/2003/index.html
Again, provided that she could go to Tunis for the Summit, having
Shirin Ebadi speaking (she would be proposed for the opening
ceremony, of course) would be the strongest symbol of the importance
of human rights in the information society.
FYI, current selection for the opening ceremony is: Adama Samassekou
(this raised many concerns w.r.t. CS proposing the president of phase
1 process, i.e. governement representative. this selection is indeed
quite surprising, leaving aside Adama's many qualities) and... Renata
Bloem (CONGO), which also appears quite a strange choice.
Please let us know on this list if there are any objections to Shirin
Ebadi proposal. In the mean time, we're trying to get her answer on
her availability.
Best,
Meryem
