+Independence
+------------
+
+Everyone is presumed to be wearing their Apache committer hat when participating in the project.
+That is, committers should act - in the context of the project activities - in the best interests of the project.
+Separating your hat between committer and any other roles you may have is important in all aspects.
+
+In the context of project participation, it can be helpful to state which hat you are wearing in cases where that
+can cause confusion, especially in cases where you are not wearing commiter hat.
+For example, "wearing [foo] hat: [messages from the foo's point of view and not as a role of committer]".
+For example, "wearing Apache TVM hat: [messages when acting your role as committer]".
