Hi All I have a response from Michael Geist and his speaker fees are not realistic for our event. We need someone to be inspirational and engaging and free. Did I say free! I appeal to our community for your suggestions, especially someone local. I am sure we can afford a modest gift out of our budget but not a speaker fee. Please provide your feedback before our Working Group call so I can provide some alternatives. As it stands Google as a major sponsor will be speaking on the IMPORTANCE OF STAKEHOLDERS and CIRA and AFFILIAS as cosponsors would be interested as well as short speakers ( could be well wishes) Glenn Working Group for ICANN TORONTO . -- Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight Http://www.globalcatalysts.com http://newsocialmedia.wordpress.com
