Mitt Romney has been invited to speak at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in San Diego this week amid reports that the former Massachusetts governor is gearing up for a possible third run for the White House.

Romney has not yet decided whether he will attend the meeting, but RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told Fox News that Romney was "one among several prominent Republican officials, and leaders, who were invited."

Among the prominent Republicans confirmed to speak at the conference on Coronado Island, Spicer noted, was Dr. Ben Carson.

The Washington Post reported late Monday that Romney had begun contacting former aides, donors and other supporters, including current and former GOP elected officials, over the weekend. One senior Republican told the paper that Romney had said that he "almost certainly" will run for President in 2016.

The Post reported that Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., Romney's running mate in 2012, was among those contacted and was described by people with knowledge of the calls as "encouraging." On Monday, Ryan announced that he would not seek the Republican nomination.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who will be in California this week for fund-raising events, was also invited but has no plans currently to attend the meeting, a Bush source confirmed to Fox News.
