[governance] Proposed text for a sign-on or IGC statement re:

[Meryem Marzouki]

Both approaches are not mutually exclusive. The text may list  
signatures (distinguishing organizational/entities and individual  
signatures) and, among the entities signatures, have the IGC as a  
whole if there is consensus on this.
Obviously, IGC members cannot be individually listed unless they  
explicitely sign up.
