 # Project Governance
 
-## Technical Steering Committee
-
-The project is jointly governed by a Technical Steering Committee (TSC)
-which is responsible for high-level guidance of the project.
-
-The TSC 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
-
-Initial membership invitations to the TSC were given to individuals who
-had been active contributors, and who have significant
-experience with the management of the project. Membership is
-expected to evolve over time according to the needs of the project.
+## Consensus Seeking Process
 
-For the current list of TSC members, see the project
-[README.md](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/README.md#tsc-technical-steering-committee).
+The Node.js project follows a [Consensus Seeking][] decision making model.
 
 ## Collaborators
 
-The [nodejs/node](https://github.com/nodejs/node) GitHub repository is
-maintained by the TSC and additional Collaborators who are added by the
-TSC 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 TSC and their addition as
-Collaborators is discussed during the weekly TSC meeting.
-
-_Note:_ If you make a significant contribution and are not considered
-for commit-access, log an issue or contact a TSC member directly and it
-will be brought up in the next TSC meeting.
-
-Modifications of the contents of the nodejs/node 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
-TSC for discussion by assigning the ***tsc-agenda*** tag to a pull
-request or issue. The TSC should serve as the final arbiter where
-required.
-
-For the current list of Collaborators, see the project
-[README.md](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/README.md#current-project-team-members).
-
-A guide for Collaborators is maintained in
-[COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md).
-
-## TSC Membership
-
-TSC seats are not time-limited.  There is no fixed size of the TSC.
-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.
+The [nodejs/node][] core GitHub repository is maintained by the Collaborators
+who are added by the Technical Steering Committee ([TSC][]) on an ongoing basis.
 
-There is no specific set of requirements or qualifications for TSC
-membership beyond these rules.
+Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are made Collaborators
+and given commit-access to the project. These individuals are identified by the
+TSC and their nomination is discussed with the existing Collaborators. 
 
-The TSC may add additional members to the TSC by a standard TSC motion.
+For the current list of Collaborators, see the project's [README.md][].
 
-A TSC member may be removed from the TSC by voluntary resignation, or by
-a standard TSC motion.
-
-Changes to TSC membership should be posted in the agenda, and may be
-suggested as any other agenda item (see "TSC Meetings" below).
-
-No more than 1/3 of the TSC members may be affiliated with the same
-employer.  If removal or resignation of a TSC member, or a change of
-employment by a TSC member, creates a situation where more than 1/3 of
-the TSC membership shares an employer, then the situation must be
-immediately remedied by the resignation or removal of one or more TSC
-members affiliated with the over-represented employer(s).
-
-## TSC Meetings
-
-The TSC meets weekly on a Google Hangout On Air. The meeting is run by
-a designated moderator approved by the TSC. Each meeting should be
-published to YouTube.
-
-Items are added to the TSC agenda which are considered contentious or
-are modifications of governance, contribution policy, TSC membership,
-or release process.
-
-The intention of the agenda is not to approve or review all patches.
-That should happen continuously on GitHub and be handled by the larger
-group of Collaborators.
-
-Any community member or contributor can ask that something be added to
-the next meeting's agenda by logging a GitHub Issue. Any Collaborator,
-TSC member or the moderator can add the item to the agenda by adding
-the ***tsc-agenda*** tag to the issue.
-
-Prior to each TSC meeting, the moderator will share the Agenda with
-members of the TSC. TSC members can add any items they like to the
-agenda at the beginning of each meeting. The moderator and the TSC
-cannot veto or remove items.
-
-The TSC may invite persons or representatives from certain projects to
-participate in a non-voting capacity. These invitees currently are:
-
-* A representative from [build](https://github.com/node-forward/build)
-  chosen by that project.
-
-The moderator is responsible for summarizing the discussion of each
-agenda item and sending it as a pull request after the meeting.
-
-## Consensus Seeking Process
+A guide for Collaborators is maintained at [COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md][].
 
-The TSC follows a
-[Consensus Seeking](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus-seeking_decision-making)
-decision making model.
+## Top Level Committees
 
-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.
+The project is governed jointly by the [Technical Steering Committee (TSC)][]
+which is responsible for high-level guidance of the project, and the
+[Community Committee (CommComm)][] which is responsible for guiding and
+extending the Node.js community.
 
-If an agenda item cannot reach a consensus, a TSC member can call for
-either a closing vote or a vote to table the issue to the next
-meeting. The call for a vote must be approved by a majority of the TSC
-or else the discussion will continue. Simple majority wins.
