[governance] Nomination of Parminder

[Sonigitu Ekpe]

Hello Daniel,

I seem to disagree with your view in this Globalized Environment we
currently find our selves.

Discipline is key and self control is paramount.

Our opinions should always put us in harmony with the Environment.

Messages can be put across without raising tensions and panics. What is the
use of ethical controls?

My 50cent.
