[governance] IGF Remote Hub Creation Process for remote

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Fouad and all,

  I believe it is broadly considered that to be able to participate
via any networked method, privacy and security are basic to
civility.  And to be denied same simply because such is not
provided by whomever is stting up these proposed Hubs is
fundementally irresponsible, potentialy, if not likely, very
dangerous as well...
