[IGFmaglist] MAG 2014 press release

[Patrick Ryan]

Chengetai,
Thank you so much for getting this information out.  One question: would it
be possible to list the new MAG members and exiting MAG members by name?
 The press release shows the current list but the puts and takes aren't
clear.

To all new MAG members,
Welcome!  It will be another fun year at the IGF and I look forward to
working with you.

To exiting MAG members,
I'm still in denial that many of you will be leaving, but if you really
think you're out . . . well, there's
