>Dear Expert,
>
>We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in and
>commitment to the World Summit Award 2003 and for your nomination for the
>EXPERT PANEL 2003!
>
>We would herewith like to refer to your professional expertise and
>experience and to ask you to support the World Summit Award in the following
>matter:
>
>It is of crucial importance for the project and it's success to have as many
>of the 191 UN s member states represented by an expert in the WSA Expert
>Panel 03 as possible. Please find attached a full list of critical
>countries, from which we still haven t received ANY nominations for a
>national expert. Our critical goal is to get EVERY of these countries
>represented by an expert by August 24th and we would like to ask you, as one
>of the leading international multimedia experts, to support the World Summit
>Award to achieve this target!
>
>Your help in this matter would be of enormous importance, and this is why:
>The WSA process 2003 is designed in such a way, that there will be NO
>possibility for products and applications from a certain country to
>participate in the WSA 03, if this country is not represented by a national
>expert in the Expert Panel.
>
>Hence if some country from the list below doesn t register an expert by
>August 24th, it must be - at least in 2003 completely excluded from the
>process and no products can and will be entered for evaluation. We are, of
>course, trying to avoid this situations, and therefore are asking for your
>help.
>
>If you could name us any concrete contacts in these countries, who would be
>appropriate as candidates for national experts or could propose us a
>candidate, or if you know any further networks in your region, which we
>could approach and ask to distribute the call for nominations, it would be a
>valuable information for us. What always works best are, of course, personal
>contacts.
>
>We would highly appreciate your support! Please, if possible, get back to us
>with a short feedback as soon as you can, as we have exactly 10 days to go
>until the registration deadline!
>
>Let me thank you in advance.
>
>We do hope to hear from you soon,
