 Are you interested to join Astropy Strategic Planning Committee?
 Here is what to expect.
 
+## Initial membership / Beta test year
+
+* Coordination Commitee will solicit interest from the community.
+* From the interested parties, Coordination Commitee will pick 5 people to form the first committee.
+  One of the committee members must serve as liaison to Coordination Commitee.
+  One of the committee members must serve as liaison to Finance Committee.
+* The first year of the first committee will be the "beta test year."
+
+During the beta test year, this committee should sort out its governance,
+including but not limited to:
+
+* Are 5 people a good number for the committee? If not, what number is?
+* How does committee pick its liaisons?
+* Does the committee need a chairperson? This person does not have to be
+  one of the liaisons.
+* Determine if no term limit and not an elected position, will this committee
+  be hoarded by a few people and no opportunity for fresh prespective?
+* Determine resolution for if some committee members become inactive but refuse
+  to step down or just MIA?
+* Determine a process to pick new members for this committee going forward
+  (with the above two points in mind).
+
+As with other committees (e.g., Finance Committee) except the Coordination Committee,
+the governance of this committee does not need to go into APE 0.
+
+If this committee is unable to reach a consensus, as with other matters in the Project,
+the committee may request Coordination Commitee to step in.
+
