## New Agenda Items

* (DPC) Governance finalization
* Want to finalize governance and move it out of incubation. Finalization might include proposed updates to voting / membership rules.
* Should this be a formal sub-team, everyone who is in the [#governance channel](https://conda.slack.com/archives/C017L7WRBC6), or somewhere in between?
* (DPC) will submit ~~PR~~ an issue, leave it open for community input, then submit a PR, and then call for a vote by current steering council.

* Issue to discuss: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11305
* Check status on https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11174
