[governance] IGC Statement in response to NTIA's announced intent to relinquish role in IANA functions

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

*"We understand the multi-stakeholder governance model as distinct from the
"inter-governmental" model, from the private sector led model, as well as
from a model that exclusively accommodates technical standards setting
groups."*

Hi Suresh and McTim - Suresh I note your suggestion to delete it. Perhaps
we can find some other way to say this. The current phrase attempts to
describe what "multistakeholder is not".
