[governance] new MAG members

[karen banks]

hi

i'm stunned actually..  and can't think of what 
the reasons would be..  even taking various factors into account..

but can only add my - and all of APC's collective 
thanks - and a simple thank you doesn't seem 
quite enough - for all of the extraordinary work 
adam has contributed to the IGF process through the MAG - and prior to..

so sorry adam, as i'm sure you were keen to continue..

and on the other hand, congratulations of course 
to jeanette, ken, qusai and robin - and the 
incoming members - valeria, natasha, graciela and YJ
