1. This is an action request. Action request in para 4.
--------------
BACKGROUND
--------------
2. The U.S. State Department will host the Washington
International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC 2008)
in Washington on March 4-6, 2008 (refs I and J).
Addressee posts have received formal invitations for
official delegations from their host governments
(refs A - H) and by now should have delivered these
invitations and confirmed that via reply cable. We
thank the many posts who have done so, and urge the
remaining posts to send their reply cables immediately.
Reply cables should be slugged for OES WIREC Action
Group Leader Stan Specht and OES Special Assistant
Camille Hill.
3. Although a few invited governments have followed the
instructions in refs I and J and registered the individual
members of their officials delegations, most have not done
so. These individual registrations are the key step in
preparing the credentials for the official delegations
which will allow them to enter the WIREC site. With WIREC
now only two weeks away, we are in urgent need of Posts'
assistance to follow-up with host governments and ensure
that they register the members of their official
delegations right away so that we can hold their spots at
the conference and have their WIREC credentials ready.
--------------
ACTION REQUESTS
--------------
4. Posts are requested to follow up with their host
governments as soon as possible to urge each member of
their delegations to submit their individual registration
forms on an urgent basis to confirm their attendance at
WIREC 2008 and enable expeditious credentialing of the
delegation. Official delegates may register for the
conference via the internet at http://
www.usea.org/WIREC/official party registration pub 0001.pdf.
They can also contact our contractor who is handling
registration for WIREC: Rob Donovan, US Energy
Association (USEA) at office direct line: 202-312-1238
or via email to rdonovan@usea.org to arrange to submit
registration information by email.

POCs FOR QUESTIONS
--------------
5. Rob Donovan (contact info in para 4) is the POC for
questions on registration and credentialing for WIREC.
