Hi,<br><br>
I came to PrepCom3 in Geneva on Saturday.<br><br>
You may have noticed this, but we need to recommend the<br>
speakers from Asia/Pacific for Tunis summit, NOW!<br><br>
The deadline is Wednesday this week, in48 hours or so...<br><br>
There are very few people from Asia Pacific here in Geneva<br>
now. Hamada-san, Kawamura-san, Harada-san, all from Japan,<br>
are one I recognized so far. Where are our friends!!<br><br>
Could you please let us know if you plan to join Tunis<br>
Summit?<br><br>
izumi<br><br>
