[governance] CS Speakers for Baku

It is in part my fault for not wrapping up the discussion quickly, to
select the speakers
and liaise to the Secretariat. So sorry about this delay.

I guess IGF Secretariat chose one from IGC members and another one from non-IGC.

They had indicated that the speaker does not have to be IGC member per se.

IGC is not the sole representative of the Civil Society for IGF.

Yet I believe Valentina will also  be an excellent speaker, especially from
Central/East Europe.
