    - Contact the final invited speakers for AM region (who contacts who?)
    - Define a substitute list in order to gather speakers if people from the prime list can't participate
    - Upload the lists to the thread and vote in the drive
~~    - What is the deadline to get response from the invited speakers? 
    - We can make a formal email body (maybe from previous events), and use it for invitation.  ~~
    
    NEXT CHAIR: Syed
**Meeting 24/02/22:**
 The regional weekly meeting was held at  13hrs (GMT-3), the members discussed the following points:
- All the communication with the invited speakers will be formal (like a signed invitation letter by the chair/co-chair ).
- Every member of the region Americas will vote in the other regions for the invited speaks list (Google Drive).
- We have also discussed, who is going to contact the invited speaks of the region Americas.
- David suggested that, if some member knows personally the invited speaks, he could contact with him/her 
  personally and convince him for the event before the formal invitation. All the members agree with his suggestion.
