[bestbits] IGF MAG 2015 members announced

[Ephraim Percy Kenyanito]

+1 to having a hangout to plan.

Thanks for CSCG for all their hard working putting together an excellent
list of civil society nominations. I am humbled for the consideration. I
hope this will be a great opportunity for CS nominees to be at the
forefront in advancing priorities of concern to CS.
