[governance] public consultation for Rio on May 23

[Adam Peake]

Seems very likely that the main themes will remain the same, thou 
emphasis may shift to Access.

Good chance there will be a call for papers on emerging issues (it 
will also be a session again, but hopefully more informed this 
time... hence a call for papers. Papers would be short, 3-5 pages.) 
Starting to prepare ideas for emerging issues would be a good idea.
