In this case administrators act as exception handlers. Regional moderators are required for language/cultural reasons, (ie. we can't expect a community member who doesn't speak a language to be able to effectively moderate). ### Regional Category Moderators Regional category moderators seats (per category): 3 **[Chinese]** | Name | Kubernetes Discuss ID | Region | Timezone | | ----------------------- | --------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------- | | Peter (Xiang Peng) Zhao | @xiangpengzhao | APAC | [CST -
