[governance] Fwd: IGF 2016: Updates for Session Organizers

[Wisdom Donkor]

Dear Arsene,

This is news to me also. I havnt head, seen or received any email from
within MAG. Should in-case this is true,
i am sure it will come to the attention of MAG members and it will be dealt
with accordingly.

I am totally against  any move that will not be in the interest of the
internet  community.

Regards,
