-## The Polkadot Technical Fellowship
-
 The Technical Fellowship is a self-governing body of experts and developers of Polkadot and Kusama
 networks protocols. It operates on-chain through the Polkadot
 [Collectives](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fpolkadot-collectives-rpc.polkadot.io#/fellowship/referenda)
-and off-chain through the [Polkadot Fellows](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows) repository.
-
-:::info Historical Context: From the Technical Committee to the Technical Fellowship
-
-The Polkadot Technical Fellowship was established in 2022. In Polkadot OpenGov, this fellowship
-replaces the [Technical Committee](./learn-governance.md#technical-committee) in Governance v1, and
-will serve both the Polkadot and Kusama networks. Unlike the Technical Committee in Governance V1
-which was limited to three entities, the Fellowship is designed to be far broader in membership
-(i.e. to work well with even tens of thousands of members) and with far lower barriers to entry
-(both in terms of administrative process flow and expectations of expertise).
