Posts for approval

The group approved one new topic:

Discussion to encourage writers to share GitHub tickets, Google Docs, public preview links to accompany a call for review in Slack to help reviewers. When writers and reviewers contributing in opposite time zones, these links can be particularly helpful.
Action: to guide contributors to use GitHub to capture comments/ changes, including when posts have moved to the CMS phase.

Action: @webcommsat and @bph to take forward the post.
