Draft Council letter on the ARR

[Adam Peake]

The IGF multistakeholder advisory group uses anonymized email digests
rather than a completely open list.  Everything's in the digest
unless someone gives good reason for it not to be (a discussion about
individuals for example, the MAG selects speakers...), just no names
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/index.php/mag/110-magdigest>

Perhaps a suggestion for later.
