[governance] Reconstituting MAG - the missing section

[Ian Peter]

Hey McTim,

Can you look again closely before I make any changes?

The second paragraph says CS representation should be equal with government
and with PS. That's really important, I think. It doesn't in any way say no
"technical community" - as is clear from the next paragraph acknowledging a
special category of representation- it just says CS should at least equal
government and PS so I am reluctant to drop it.

Can you live with it?

My rationale is that in the 2nd para, we say "only 3 SH's please", but
in the 3rd we'd be saying "let those others in too".

When what we really want to say is "more of us, less of them (gov't reps)"
