[governance] quick draft for IGC comment today on new democracy movement

[Izumi AIZU]

Thanks Deirdre,

Unfortunately, the timing came earlier than expected and I already
took the floor and read the one I posted on this list.

Well, for the record, I might ask some modification taking account
your comments, but it is already in the transcription etc.

Hope you could understand this.
