[GSBN] New nomination - Min Hall

[Bill Christensen]

Enga is now a contributing member of GSBN.  Welcome Enga.  (she said 
she's probably going to lurk for a bit anyway).

Graeme (apologies for the earlier misspelling of your name), please ask 
Min to join via http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN 
and then let me know when she's done so.  I doubt we'll see any "no" 
votes, so I'll probably be adding her as a contributor as well in the 
next few days.

NZ in March 2016... hmmm.  If I do well in the job interview on Friday I 
may be in a position to do that one, and hopefully maybe bring the whole 
family.
