[governance] MAG - official

[Parminder]

I think change from AG to MAG is a significant gain. Names count for more
than people often realize --- along the way when a creep sets in and there
is an attempt to make the core IGF/ MAG  more and more governmental -
already more than half the members are from the government - this name can
become an irritant for some, and the rallying point for others.
