[governance] coordinating the IGC

[Lee McKnight]

Hi,

I too support Avri's proposal with regard to the transition process, methods, and general objectives.

As to the specific outcomes or 'improved'/reformed processes on the other side of that transition, I agree with jeanette and others that it is too soon to say exactly what those will be, and how they will work.

But at least we can get from here (one consensus coordinator) to there (two co-coordinators).

And maybe even, occasionally rough consensus positions. 

Ok, I'm an optimist!

And I agree with Milton - and thank Avri for 
volunteering to move things forward.

I support Avri's proposal.  Will help best I can.
