The instructions on how to propose governance changes in OpenStack are currently located on the TC meeting agenda wiki page, which makes it hard to discover when you browse the governance website. Place it right and center on governance.o.o so that it's clear how to make changes to it. Change-Id: Idb5a38fe6b503d8173178e956c95a00bb41272dd

OpenStack Technical Committee
The OpenStack Technical Committee is one of the governing bodies of the OpenStack project. It is an elected group that represents the contributors to the project, and has oversight on all technical matters.
The Technical Committee is formally defined in the OpenStack
Foundation bylaws (in particular article 4.1(b), article 4.13 and
Appendix 4) and further refined in the reference/charter.
Upstream work under the Technical Committee is organized under
official reference/projects/index and more informal Working
Groups.
These pages contain OpenStack Technical Committee reference documents and track official resolutions voted by the committee.

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 reference/house-rules document.
