speaker at a meeting
Situation is an evening harbour cruise for visitors to an international sporting event. An international discussion is to take to place on board the ship. The Regional Association Director, the Mayor and an association president are the main speakers.
The third one has (angefragt) after his name. Does this mean he's the bloke answering any questions(translation: "answering questions")? Dictionaries give "enquired" but this would make no sense to an English speaker.

has been asked
they enquired whether he would want to be one of the main speakers - this is how I would interpret it
Peer comment(s):

Edith Kelly
: But not in the above context, it's simply a note after the name, indicating that the speaker will hopefully attend but the speaker has not yet confirmed

my idea was more about the meaning - not about a translation - I guess I should have stated that ( it still might have worked as a translation if it had been an internal memo)

*angefragt* means that the speaker was invited but has not responded to the request or committed to the event; can't think of the English equivalent right now
