[governance] Google's Fight the ITU/WCIT website

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Sala and all, this list does not require that off-topics be banned. 
Otherwise, the accumulated set of messages would be reduced by probably 
80% and we would lose one of the most relevant aspects of a democratic 
list -- flexibility in how each one treats each issue.

I insist your role should be of a no-nonsense moderator.
