Capacity Planning	Charter needs to be rewritten/reconsidered: Capacity Planning has not had an elected member of the Product Council on it, and that seems odd. In reformulating this into the release planning team, it would be good to address this. (Two people that are on the capacity planning group now are also elected members of Technical Council.) Sharon Wiles-Young, Martina Schildt, and Jesse Koennecke volunteered to sit in on the finalization of the group charter. See: 2022-03-24 Product Council Meeting Notes Updates from 2022-08-25 Product Council Meeting notes, draft charter not approved, Hkaplanian to provide updated description on the Releases area of the wiki.
