RE: UN-OCHA speakers for joint ITU-OASIS Workshop

[<richard.hill@itu.int>]

Carol,

Thanks, but regarding the Tampere Convention, we have already confirmed
a speaker, and this quite some time ago.  It is Bo Bergen.  So please
inform OCHA that we will not require a speaker from them for this topic.

Thanks and best,
Richard
