[governance] Funeral Notice

[parminder]

So sad to hear! I hadnt met or conversed directly with Imran  but his
efforts to contribute to IGC were remarkably energetic and praiseworthy.

Perhaps we can convey a collective condolence message from the IGC
through whoever is able to make contact with his family.
