[governance] New MAG announced

[Katitza Rodriguez]

Thanks Adam.

Rules are the same as previous years. Many well established NGOS has 
members
and its easy to report to them (or they delegate trust to them) but the 
IGC community
demand info. and to be heard, and if you are a MAG member, its hard to 
ignore them.
There are other spaces where civil society has improved collaboration.

But I honestly agree with you.  It might be really hard to have a 
liaison/facilitator and it might
not play well in the end.

My question: If some new MAG members wont necessarily report to IGC, how 
otherwell established
NGOs with members and individual will learn of what happen in the MAG if 
IGC is not the right place
to share info? only selected people will have access to the info? Just 
curious!
