[bestbits] [governance] IGF retreat starts

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Dear Anriette

It is great to know that you and CS folks are there and to know more,
thanks!

Also would be great if you could mention CSCG new WG efforts. It is an
amazing team and the CSCG processes will only improve.

Best,

Renata
