[governance] Joining list as a new member

[Craig Simon]

Welcome Myra,

If you are interested in reading about some of the historical background 
to Internet Governance, please feel free to have a look at my Ph.D 
dissertation at http://www.rkey.com/essays/diss.pdf (4Mb).

long-standing and persistently challenging issue.
