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
