[Rigf_program] operating principles, proposed text on quorum etc

[Izumi AIZU]

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks like a very good idea to have such
voting mechanism.

As for the naming, I also have no problem with MSG (abbreviation is a little
confusing, but that is another thing and OK for this).

We don't have to be exactly same as global IGF. There, making decision is
sometimes very sensitive, that's why UN SG was asked and advisory remains
as advisory. Here, at least so far, there is no political sensitivity to
that level
and also this is the body that decides the substance of the APrIGF, so
there has to be some kind of steering.
