The following documents outline recommendations and requirements for SIG governance structure and provide template documents for SIGs to adapt. The goals are to define the baseline needs for SIGs to self govern and organize in a way that addresses the needs of the core Kubernetes project.
The documents are focused on:
- Outlining organizational responsibilities
- Outlining organizational roles
- Outlining processes and tools
Specific attention has been given to:
- The role of technical leadership
- The role of operational leadership
- Process for agreeing upon technical decisions
- Process for ensuring technical assets remain healthy
When developing or modifying a SIG governance doc, the intention is for SIGs to use the templates (under development) as a common set of options SIGs may choose to incorporate into their own governance structure. It is recommended that SIGs start by looking at the Recommendations and requirements for SIG governance docs and consider what structure they think will work best for them before pulling items from the templates.
The expectation is that SIGs will pull and adapt the options in the templates to best meet the needs of the both the SIG and project.
