For me, a few specific element chats should also migrate to this forum under particular sections.

- Governance
  - Polkadot
  - Kusama

- Validators (probably don’t need sub-sections, but just tags in this case?)

We can use the existing moderators from the Element chat.

To transition these chats into the forum, I suggest that we:

1. Setup the forum
2. Bootstrap some activity
3. Create forum notifications into the appropriate element channels
4. Notify deprecation of the element chat (2 - 4 weeks)
5. Lock the element channels from normal user posts, and leave notifications on.
