From 981e10619a98dc7dd7a017ba4cbd0ad1fba752f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Trott Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2016 20:22:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] doc: update GOVERNANCE.md to use "meeting chair" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The governance documentation refers to a CTC meeting "moderator" but that is a confusing term. "Meeting chair" seems more correctly descriptive. Change instances of "moderator" to "meeting chair".
