[governance] End to End encryption (was: Fwd: FB open letter e2e update...)

[Ian Peter]

I support Sala's proposal that IGC signs on - however we have a deadline 
of Monday - can we come to a quick decision to do so before then? I 
guess an early question is whether anyone here is opposed to IGC signing 
on?

In the mean time individual organisations here should sign on if they 
wish as per details below.

Ian
