[ghc-steering-committee] Secretary of the GHC Steering Committee

[Adam Gundry]

Thanks everyone. As it's time for a new nomination round for committee 
memberships, I will look to organise this over the next few weeks. 
(Joachim, if you have any particular pointers for how to do this, e.g. 
regarding the specific voting mechanism you've used in previous rounds, 
that would be welcome.)

I'm also planning to do a pass over the README, by-laws, process 
documentation etc. as I think a few updates may be in order. In 
particular I'd like to think through how we can avoid proposals 
languishing for too long waiting on committee responses.

Cheers,

Adam
