[governance] IGC Membership [Restoring Archives and other related matters]

[Chaitanya Dhareshwar (via governance Mailing List)]

Thanks Sala. I agree on point #5, personally, I've been a lurker since
2014-sometime but try to read as many of the messages as possible (across
the fora that I participate in).

I am looking forward to #9 - how to continue my participation (albeit
passive).

I'm writing mainly to address point #4 - because a decrease in the
coordinator's confidence in the list can undermine the integrity & life of
the list... Bruna, it's worth noting that many valuable participants may
not remain consistently active, but are still participants who greatly
value the list and what it means to be a part of it.

Best regards,
Chaitanya
