+Expectations of mentors:
 * Be online 5 minutes early. You can look at questions in the queue by joining the #meet-our-contributors Slack channel to give yourself some time to prepare.
 * Expect questions about the contribution process, membership, navigating the Kubernetes seas, testing, and general questions about you and your path to open source/Kubernetes. It's okay if you don't know the answer!
 * We will be using video chat (Zoom, but livestreaming through YouTube) but voice-only is fine if you are more comfortable with that.
 * Be willing to provide suggestions and feedback to make this process & experience better!

+## Host Instructions
+TODO: elaborate here and upload example comms
+
+Want to host in another timezone? Reach out to us on the #sig-contribex slack
+channel!
+0. Recruit a live streamer from sig-contribex
+1. Recruit panelists (3-4) that represent a mix of backgrounds, sigs, and experience
+levels. Look to devstats contributor dashboards for most recent releases to get
+folks who are active in the project. You don't want all of the same voice; please
+make this as diverse as possible.
+2. Send panelists the zoom link calendar invite and a prep email. Tell the panelists
+to help advertise on the mailing lists and networks.
+3. Advertise. Send a note to k-dev, request a tweet from social@cncf.io, post in
+#k-dev, #meet-our-contributors, and #sig-contribex slack channels
+4. Confirm with everyone a few days before. We always have at least one person that
+can no longer accommodate with their schedules and will need a back up or know
+that you will be one less.
+5. Tweet and get the word out in the AM (ask others to tweet for you!) of the show
+6. Have panelists meet 5 minutes early for the streamer to test audio.
+7. While testing, go over the agenda for the panelists, give them a chance to ask
+questions, also give them a heads up on questions that have already come through
+so they can think of responses a head of time.
+8. Start the show!
+9. Show agenda:
+- Welcome to x month's Meet Our Contributors!
+- Intro yourself (brief, name usually and that you are the host)
+- We have a code of conduct! ... talk about where to find it, be excellent across
+x platforms, if someone needs to report conduct@kubernetes.io
+- Go over instructions on how to ask questions and panelists can ask each other
+questions
+- State: "Our agenda today as always: intros, announcements, and q&a!"
+- Ask panelists to do introductions (no order, just call out names). They can take
+up to 5 minutes if they go into their background.
+- Converse freely with the panelists so its not boring Q&A. As host should only
+answer a question if other panelists are done or no one has a response.
