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

[Lee W McKnight]

I agree with Meryem's suggested approach, for maximum impact on ICANN's conisderation of this, both the collective of IGC member and folks in their individual capacities and affiliations should be listed - with their consent of course.

(sign me up too)

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.
