[governance] IGC Co-Coordinators Elections

[Chaitanya Dhareshwar (via governance Mailing List)]

My view is that if Bruna is willing, able and acceptable to a reasonable
majority she can be the default choice for the interim 1 year.

That way we will vote on one position only (the 2 year one) which is the
norm.

Best,
C
