6. Slack Moderators
    - Do we want the Community Liaison to be part of the moderators team or should we just request for a monthly report from the moderators team.
        - Have reasons why we want the report. @trallard 
        - Having a GC member helps to understand how the moderation works.
        - Work as a partnership only with directly affected teams and send reports only on issues that needs the GC.
        - Receive a transparency report periodically without too revealing information.

7. Data

    - Meeting setup for this week.
    - SUGGESTION: reach out to PSF and PyLadies finance teams about who applied for grants and for what purpose.

8. Resources 
    - Document about information about existing resorces created and will be used to explore new ways to structure resources or improve if there is a need.
