+# io.js Project Governance
+
+## Working Group
+
+The io.js docker project is jointly governed by a Working Group (WG)
+which is responsible for high-level guidance of the project.
+
+The WG has final authority over this project including:
+
+* Technical direction
+* Project governance and process (including this policy)
+* Contribution policy
+* GitHub repository hosting
+* Conduct guidelines
+* Maintaining the list of additional Collaborators
+
+For the current list of WG members, see the project
+[README.md](./README.md#people).
+
+## Collaborators
+
+The [iojs/docker-iojs](https://github.com/iojs/docker-iojs) GitHub repository is
+maintained by the WG and additional Collaborators who are added by the
+WG on an ongoing basis.
+
+Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are made
+Collaborators and given commit-access to the project. These
+individuals are identified by the WG and their addition as
+Collaborators is discussed as a pull request to this project's
+[README.md](./README.md#people).
+
+_Note:_ If you make a significant contribution and are not considered
+for commit-access log an issue or contact a WG member directly.
+
+Modifications of the contents of the iojs/docker-iojs repository are made on
+a collaborative basis. Anybody with a GitHub account may propose a
+modification via pull request and it will be considered by the project
+Collaborators. All pull requests must be reviewed and accepted by a
+Collaborator with sufficient expertise who is able to take full
+responsibility for the change. In the case of pull requests proposed
+by an existing Collaborator, an additional Collaborator is required
+for sign-off. Consensus should be sought if additional Collaborators
+participate and there is disagreement around a particular
+modification. See _Consensus Seeking Process_ below for further detail
+on the consensus model used for governance.
+
+Collaborators may opt to elevate significant or controversial
+modifications, or modifications that have not found consensus to the
+WG for discussion by assigning the ***WG-agenda*** tag to a pull
+request or issue. The WG should serve as the final arbiter where
+required.
+
+For the current list of Collaborators, see the project
+[README.md](./README.md#people).
+
+## WG Membership
+
+WG seats are not time-limited. There is no fixed size of the WG.
+However, the expected target is between 6 and 12, to ensure adequate
+coverage of important areas of expertise, balanced with the ability to
+make decisions efficiently.
+
+There is no specific set of requirements or qualifications for WG
+membership beyond these rules.
+
+The WG may add additional members to the WG by unanimous consensus.
+
+A WG member may be removed from the WG by voluntary resignation, or by
+unanimous consensus of all other WG members in an issue or pull request
+on the [iojs/docker-iojs](https://github.com/iojs/docker-iojs) repository
+
+No more than 1/3 of the WG members may be affiliated with the same
+employer. If removal or resignation of a WG member, or a change of
+employment by a WG member, creates a situation where more than 1/3 of
+the WG membership shares an employer, then the situation must be
+immediately remedied by the resignation or removal of one or more WG
+members affiliated with the over-represented employer(s).
+
+## WG Meetings
+
+This working group does not meet. All discussions and decisions happen
+in the [iojs/docker-iojs](https://github.com/iojs/docker-iojs) repository
+in issues and pull requests. Items can be flagged as needing a board
+decision by **WG-agenda** tag to the issue.
+
+When an issue is tagged with **WG-agenda**, The WG may invite persons or
+representatives from certain projects to participate in the discussion in
+a non-voting capacity.
+
+## Consensus Seeking Process
+
+The WG follows a
+[Consensus Seeking](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus-seeking_decision-making)
+decision making model.
+
+All proposed changes to the project must be made in the form
+of a pull request to the repository (directly commiting to a production
+branch of the repository is not permitted). The consensus seeking process
+will then follow via discussion by the WG members on that pull request.
+Changes deemed trivial by WG members may be merged instantly by any
+WG member, without waiting for consensus, so long as they leave  a note
+explaining the reason for the merge.
+
+When an agenda item has appeared to reach a consensus the moderator
+will ask "Does anyone object?" as a final call for dissent from the
+consensus.
+
+If an agenda item cannot reach a consensus a WG member can call for
+a closing vote. The call for a vote must be seconded by a majority of the WG
+or else the discussion will continue. Simple majority wins.
+
+Note that changes to WG membership require unanimous consensus. See
+"WG Membership" above.
