[governance] One more thing

[Parminder]

Thanks Avri, for all the great work. And thanks everyone who has said kind
words on our taking over the responsibilities...

In fact, what has been gratifying in this votes that though there was not
much to decide here (2 coordinators for 2 posts - and, if we accept the
current proposal on the 2007 election time, with a few months difference of
term) 48 members did cast their votes... apart from it being an expression
of support, for which we are thankful, it augurs well for members' continued
involvement and readiness to commit time and attention to IGC work. 

So, taking the proposal mentioned in Avri's email forward, I propose that
the 2007 election takes place immediately after the Rio meeting. It is
better to put this matter aside rather than discuss it close to the
scheduled time of vote in summer. And we get back to the charter timelines
for 2008. Thanks

Parminder
