nebulous didn't go down well upon user testing

This section is considerably shorter and less detailed than the jupyter counterpart: https://github.com/jupyter/governance/blob/master/governance.md#steering-council

Was that intentional?

Maybe we should define the roles and responsibilities more clearly.

no, it wasn't :D - thanks for the link, another commit coming up

As it is currently written, this document is strongly masculine-coded. It risks putting women off applying, but will probably encourage men to apply (paper). We should avoid coding the description of the steering committee to be masculine-biased in pursuit of diversity as is being discussed in #8. If you like I can make particular suggestions on changes to correct this, or @niallrobinson (or someone else) could make some changes focusing on masculine-coded words, phrases, and concepts and increasing the emphasis of the collaborative aspect of Pangeo.

thanks for the feedback all - I propose that we address the remaining comments when this is merged into a whole document
