[governance] IGC Nomcom results and final report

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

Deirdre Williams, Kerry Brown, Shaila Mistry, David Cake, Jefsey Morfin, 
and  Ian Peter as non-voting Chair are to be congratulated on their fine 
work in selecting MAG candidates.

Having chaired a MAG NomCom I know the challenge selecting from such a 
well qualified pool entails. Good work.

Best,

Tom Lowenhaupt
