+If you'd like to participate in conversations about governance or otherwise interact with the Council in some form, you can find the Council on the [#council stream on Zulip][zulip].
+
+The Council may create additional streams for specific projects. Consult the stream list for any that start with "council".
+
+There are several private streams reserved for topics that must be kept private. See the [private decision guidelines][private-decision] for the types of discussions that may need to be private. Council members should avoid the private channels unless absolutely necessary. These channels are:
+
+* `#council/private` — Private discussions among the council.
+* `#council-mods-private` — Private discussions involving both the council and moderation teams.
+* `#foundation-council-private` — Private discussions involving both the council and the Foundation.

+
+### Council Meetings
+
+The Council has synchronous meetings to discuss topics and make decisions. See [`procedures/synchronous-meetings.md`] for more information.
+
+[`procedures/synchronous-meetings.md`]: https://github.com/rust-lang/leadership-council/blob/main/procedures/synchronous-meetings.md
+
+### HackMD
+
+The Council has a public HackMD workspace at <https://hackmd.io/team/rust-leadership-council>. This workspace provides a home for Council members to collaborate and create draft documents. More permanent documentation should go in this repository or the Rust Forge.
+
+Since this HackMD workspace is using the free service, it does not support private documents. If you need to draft a private document, create it in your personal workspace and use private channels to share the link.
+
+### Governance documentation
+
+The current set of policies that govern the Council are documented on the Forge in the [Leadership Council chapter][forge-council]. When governance policy changes are approved (via the RFC process), the Forge governance documentation should be updated to reflect those changes.
+

+### Committees
+
+The Council may create committees to delegate work or decision authority. Committee charters and membership are tracked in the [`committees/`] directory. The [`TEMPLATE.md`] file in that directory contains a starter template for defining a committee. A committee can be created with the full consensus of the Council.

+
+### Issue and work tracking
+
+The GitHub issue tracker at <https://github.com/rust-lang/leadership-council/issues> is used for tracking work items, a backlog of tasks, and questions from the public. More information about the issue tracker may be found in [`procedures/issues.md`].
