If the header used at the start of each session in Slack has changed, then use whatever the current convention is. It does look inconsistent.

Suggested change
- Run Voice Chat sessions in [#core-test](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03B0H5J0) every **1st Thursday of the month**.
- Run Voice Chat sessions in [#core-test](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03B0H5J0) on the first Thursday of every month.

Just a nitpick. Use of strong text here isn't consistent with other guide conventions.

These duties are shared between all team Reps (seeΒ **Rep Responsibilities**Β onΒ [the Team Rep page](https://make.wordpress.org/updates/team-reps/#team-rep-orientation)).

There wasn't always two reps, and afaik there isn't anything requiring exactly two, so this small change should accommodate future team shapes ("all" is optional).
