[governance] Reviving IGC: Merging Bestbits in, IGF Day zero event and other subjects

[Sheetal Kumar]

Dear all,

While the closure of Bestbits is an internal matter for Bestbits, we have
agreed for it to be closed and so I'd say any IGC conversations need to
take that into account. We're at that point where the closure has been
agreed but there are still people on Bestbits who are not on IGC but likely
will sign up to be part of the discussions soon.

As such, shouldn't we wait for those from Bestbits who want to join to join
and we can then get the IGC coordinator elections going? The call to agree
next steps and make sure everyone is on the same page is going to be w/c
August 5.

Best
Sheetal
