[governance] Norbert's hat

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

For a change I completely agree with parminder here.

 As a further data point, It has not been a practice on the one 
technical and one civil society list that I have helped moderate for 
the past decade or so.

This is not the sort of forum where a moderator or coordinator has to 
appear in an administrative role all that often and meanwhile we could 
do with norberts perspective on discussions.
