[governance] Co-coordinator Election Results

[Hempal Shrestha]

Congratulations to Jeremy for being elected as the new coordinator of IGC.
Thanks to Fouad, Tim and Rafik for making this process more democratic and
bringing in such a wonderful pool of expertize, the diversity and their
expertise must had been one of the reason to bring 138 members on the voting
role.  Also, a great appriciation to Ian for this volunterism to IGC for his
tenure as coordinator.

Just on a different note (differing from Craig Simon),  in the democracies
that we are practicing here in South Asia, the coalition form of democracy
also serves the minorities in a good way and saves from being  autocrated by
the democracies of the majority. The rest of the percentages shows the
richness and diversity that we have in the group and a recogniztion that
they bring with them for the community.

Also, many thanks to Derrick for your continious support to the IGC in this
process.

Best Regards,

Hempal Shrestha
