[governance] [bestbits] Nominations for IGF closing and opening speakers

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Hi

There are balanced positions.  And then there are principled stands - which can still be expressed civilly - and as long as they stick to a consistent set of facts, they are to be respected.

I wasn’t referring to you at all when I said that part about burning bridges.  However, appeals to balance that I made were those that tend to what I mentioned above.

I hope I make myself clear - I am not disagreeing with you here.
