[governance] Funeral Notice

[Ian Peter]

This is such sad news - Imran played such a key role in the recent 
rejuvenation of IGC, and his energy and enthusiasm were pivotal in 
getting us back to a strong presence.

I think it would be great if the Co coordinators wrote and expressed 
sympathy to the family on behalf of our group, while acknowledging how 
respected and appreciated Imran was within IGC.

Ian
