[governance] Coordinators' call on the statement for Feb 13

[Izumi AIZU]

Vittorio and Parminder,

Many thanks for the great effort to induce the consensus.
While it may not be the perfect outcome, it still is far better
than not reaching the rough consensus, I would say.

As this is the first time for the new coordinators, I think you
now have found some challenges as all the predecessors faced.

We will collectively learn good lessons to carry forward.

It's a pitty that I could not join f2f in Geneva, but remain
engaged.
