[governance] IGC ELECTION RESULTS [Welcoming the New Coordinators of the IGC]

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Thanks Sala, and  Jeremy and Chaitanya for your work on the process.

Congratulations to Deirdre and Mawaki!

Thanks to Imran for also being brave and committed enough to tackle the
task.

Looking forward to a good IGC year and one in which I hope we manage to
increase civil society influence in IG.

Anriette
