[governance] IGC Membership [Restoring Archives and other related matters]

Fri Jul 19 08:02:28 EDT 2019

Dear All,

According to Akinremi's email in another thread, there are 665 persons
subscribed to the IGC which sounds correct to me.

As the website restoration team gather and consolidate content, things will
be more visible.

Kind Regards,
Sala
