[SAC] [OSGeo] #1547: Move mails to Gmail

[michael.smith.erdc at gmail.com]

Would it be simpler to do something like use a new domain, OSGeo.io or something like that, and then keep the OSGeo.org aliases and point them to the .io addresses? This is assuming we do go with an external hosted email service. 

Note that this is just a question to SAC and not a request.
