+How to propose governance changes
+=================================
+
+Motions need to be presented before Friday 0800 UTC to be added to the next
+Tuesday meeting agenda for discussion. They should either be posted as a
+proposed change to the governance repository (on review.openstack.org) or as
+a "[tc]" thread to openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org (with a pointer to that
+thread being posted to openstack-tc@lists.openstack.org to make sure it gets
+the required attention from TC members). Upon verification, the chair will
+put the motion on the `agenda for the next meeting`_.
+
+There might be a backlog of requests, in which case the discussion will be
+scheduled for a subsequent meeting. We use Gerrit to record votes, so before
+being formally voted on or approved, motions will have to be presented as a
+change in the governance git repository. You can find instructions on how to
+do that in the `Developer's guide section of the Infra manual`_. Please
+contact the TC chair in case you need help. Note that a number of simpler
+changes do not require formal voting by the majority of the Technical
+Committee membership. Those exceptions are listed in the
+:doc:`reference/house-rules` document.
