Similar to #1813 this PR safely1 removes some paragraphs from the GC charter which are no longer relevant as they describe the bootstrapping process. This includes:

  • A rewrite of section "Overview"
  • Removal of "Establishment of a governance committee", only keeping the part Ultimately, the **OpenTelemetry Governance Committee will consist of 9 individual members** of the community **elected for 2 year terms**. The terms will be **staggered with 1 year elections** (alternating 4 seats and 5 seats). put in present tense.
  • Removal of "Initial Election"
  • Remove note about continuity member from special elections

There are 2 more sections with bootstrap elements left, but they can not be changed without unsafe changes:

Footnotes

  1. by that I mean they do not change the meaning of the charter. If any of the changes applied in this PR are not assumed safe by anyone without giving a specific reason I will remove it from the PR.

Looks good. The changes don't modify any active part of the charter, only outdated parts related to the bootstrapping of the GC

Note that I have applied @arminru's suggestion:

(alternating 4 seats in even years and 5 seats in odd years).
