Rob,
As you stated, it would be rather difficult to be both part of the panel and moderate it.
So either way is perfectly fine with me: - either be part of the panel as a government rep and not be the moderator - or moderate the panel as a vendor-independent person and not be a panelist
No hard feelings if someone else wants to moderate the panel :-)
Best regards,
Bart
PS: either way, I'm willing to create a small presentation of the panel (as a teaser) with one "bio"-slide per panelist, if the panelist can send me a few bullet points for their slide by tomorrow 12:00 GMT

I'm sorry to hear this, Aslam. You're going to miss a lot of fun in Beijing.
Bart, will you be able to moderate the panel discussion as well as be part of it? In theory it is possible, but the risk is that the discussion becomes unbalanced, either by the moderator/panelist talking too little,
or too much, on the issues. If possible, I think it would be preferable
to have a non-panelist be the moderator. We'll have several other Adoption TC members in attendance: Alan, Louis, Zaheda, Don, etc. If one of them can take on the formal master of ceremonies/moderator role, that
would make things simpler.

Hi All,
I unfortunately will not be able to attend the conference. I am truly sorry for withdrawing at the last minute. I have spoken to Bart and he has kindly agreed to take over my duties if that is acceptable to the group. I hope that you have a great session. I was really looking forward to meeting you all and trust that you will have a successful conference.
