+# SIG Governance
+
+CNOE Special Interest Groups (SIGs) generally align with the scope, purpose, and and governance processes defined by [Kubernetes SIG Governance](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/committee-steering/governance/sig-governance.md). Although there are many cases where we cannot replicate the specifics of this Kubernetes process, we aim to align ourselves with the spirit of this process.
+
+## Requirements for a SIG
+
+- Have an approved Charter under sigs/sig-name/charter.md.
+- Meet regularly, at least for 30 minutes every 3 weeks, except November and
+  December.
+- Keep up-to-date meeting notes, linked from the SIG's page in the community
+  repo..
+- Ensure related work happens in a project-owned GitHub org and repository,
+  with code and tests explicitly owned and supported by the SIG, including
+  issue triage, PR reviews, test-failure response, bug fixes, etc.
+- Use the community slack as the primary means of working, communicating,
+  and collaborating, as opposed to private emails and meetings.
+- Ensure contributing instructions (CONTRIBUTING.md) are defined in the SIGs
+  folder located in the community repo.
+
+## SIG Approval
+
+Approval of a SIG charter (and therefore creation of a SIG) is made by the CNOE Steering committee following their standard decision making processes.
+
+## SIG Roles
+
+As we are a smaller community than Kubernetes, we have simplified the Roles for SIG and their subprojects. We also are folding in [community roles](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md) to SIGs and their subprojects.
+
+
+| Role | Responsibilities | Requirements | Defined by |
+| -----| ---------------- | ------------ | -------|
+| Reviewer | Review contributions from other members | History of review and authorship in a subproject | [OWNERS] file *reviewer* entry |
+| Approver | Contributions acceptance approval| Highly experienced active reviewer and contributor to a subproject | [OWNERS] file *approver* entry|
+| Subproject owner | Set direction and priorities for a subproject | Demonstrated responsibility and excellent technical judgement for the subproject | [OWNERS] file *owners* entry |
+| Lead | Set direction and priorities for a SIG | Demonstrated responsibility and excellent technical judgement for the SIG | sigs/sig-name/OWNERS file *owners* entry |
