From 06a59e1f1c495058727c81a132765c7038fc7f42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin W. Flory (he/him) Date: Dec 17 2023 05:26:55 +0000 Subject: docs(council): Amend Charter for Community Initiative Leads This commit amends the Fedora Council Charter in the following ways: * Responsibilities: Add note about Executive Sponsor role and that a Fedora Council member is expected to become a Sponsor as a part of their term on the Council. * Community Initiative Leads: Clarify the role amid recent changes to Community Initiatives, especially around the composition of the seat and the fact that Initiatives are not hand-appointed by the Council, but actually driven by community consensus and momentum.
