+# Node.js Advisory Board Charter
+
+## 1. Background
+
+The Node.js open source project is continuing its rapid growth of adoption in
+the market. Given the large numbers of contributors, users, and companies with
+a stake in the future of the project, the project leadership is looking to
+supplement the current governance and contribution mechanisms with an advisory
+board, as part of its long-term commitment to create a more open governance
+model.
+
+## 2. Purpose
+
+### 2.1
+
+The primary purpose of the Node.js Advisory Board is to advise Joyent and the
+Node.js project core committers team leadership on matters related to
+supporting the long-term governance, structure, and roadmap of the Node.js open
+source project. The following main areas are included in this charter:
+
+  * Provide a forum for individuals, users, and companies to discuss the issues
+    under the scope listed below.
+  * Provide guidance and input to leadership, and where possible, present a
+    consistent and consolidated opinion from the broader Node.js community.
+
+### 2.2
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board is not:
+
+  * Intended to serve as an authoritative governance board. The Node.js
+    Advisory Board advises, but does not manage the Node.js project core
+    committers team leadership.
+  * Intended to replace existing mechanisms for community input, governance,
+    or contribution.
+  * Intended to assume a formal, fiduciary role with respect to the project.
+    The Node.js Advisory Board members will not be asked to provide funds to
+    the project, assume liabilities with respect to the project or their
+    activities, or assume responsibility for enforcing either trademarks or
+    Node.js Advisory Board recommendations.
+
+## 3. Scope
+
+### 3.1
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board is expected to provide input and formal
+recommendations regarding the following areas:
+
+  * Node.js project long term roadmap
+  * Node.js project policies and procedures around maintenance, contributions,
+    core team membership and governance.
+  * Node.js project policies and procedures around intellectual property,
+    trademark, and licensing
+  * Node.js project release schedules
+
+## 4. Meetings and Memberships
+
+### 4.1 General
+
+  * The Node.js Advisory Board will have 13 members
+  * The Node.js core committers project lead: TJ Fontaine
+  * 2 seats for the top core technical contributors
+  * Up to 8 additional seats: 4 corporate seats, 4 “user” seats
+  * One curator seat
+  * One Open Source Software guidance seat
+  * No fee or sponsorship is required for membership
+  * The membership term will last 12 months. With the exception of the Project
+    Lead, all members can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms
+
+### 4.2
+
+The selection process is intended to be open, transparent, and guided by
+objective criteria for membership.
+
+### 4.3
+
+The Curator shall prepare an agenda for and preside over regular meetings of
+the Node.js Advisory Board. These meetings shall occur as frequently as the
+Node.js Advisory Board determines is in the project’s best interest, but no
+less than quarterly.
+
+### 4.4
+
+A member of the Node.js Advisory Board may be removed by a resolution of the
+Node.js Advisory Board supported by more than two thirds of its membership.
+
+### 4.5
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board may fill any vacancy arising by removal or
+resignation by a simple majority vote to fill the remainder of the term of the
+vacating member.
+
+### 4.6
+
+The rules of election and membership outlined in this section may be varied by
+a resolution of the Node.js Advisory Board supported by more than two thirds of
+its voting membership.
+
+### 4.7
+
+All project contributors are welcome to observe at Node.js Advisory Board
+meetings.
+
+## 5. Selection Process
+
+### 5.1 Contributors
+
+Two seats will be granted to the top technical contributors, as measured by
+non-trivial pull requests as determined by the core contributor team that have
+been merged into the master in the previous 6 months.  These seats will be
+reserved for active individual contributors who are neither employees of
+Joyent, Inc. nor employees of companies that hold a corporate seat.
+
+### 5.2 Corporate seats
+
+Nomination is restricted to companies for whom all three of the following are
+true:
+
+  * Are in the top 5 companies in terms of non-trivial pull requests merged
+    into the master in the past six months as measured by contributions by the
+    entire organization.
+  * Have one or more employees for whom a key component of their job
+    description is to contribute to Node.js and/or make significant
+    contributions to the Node.js source code base.
+  * Have committed to integrate Node.js into widely used corporate products in
+    a manner consistent with Core Criteria listed in Section 8 below.
+
+### 5.3
+
+Once nominations haves been closed, selection of corporate seats will be made
+by a vote by eligible contributors. Eligible contributors are those who remain
+active as a contributor and have had at least one non-trivial pull request
+merged to master in the previous six months.
+
+### 5.4 User seats
+
+These seats are for organizations that are using Node.js. To be nominated, an
+end-user company must currently be using Node.js in production and have
+published a use case on the Node.js website.  Once nominations have been
+closed, selection will be made by a vote by eligible contributors. Eligible
+contributors are those who are currently active and have had at least one
+non-trivial pull request merged to master in the past six months.
+
+## 6. Operation
+
+### 6.1
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board is authorized to seek advice and counsel from other
+interested parties and invited experts as appropriate.
+
+### 6.2
+
+Any outside party wishing to bring an issue before the Node.js Advisory Board
+may do so by emailing the Node.js Advisory Board at
+[nodeadvisoryboard@joyent.com](mailto:nodeadvisoryboard@joyent.com).
+
+### 6.3
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board shall provide transparent and timely reporting
+(through any mechanism it deems appropriate) to the Node.js community at large
+on all of its activities, subject to the right of any individual to designate
+their comments and the ensuing discussion as "in confidence," in which case the
+public report shall contain only a note of the request and an agreed summary
+(if any) of the substance.
+
+### 6.4
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board is being formed at the discretion of Joyent.  Joyent
+alone may decide to terminate the Node.js Advisory Board in its sole
+discretion; provided however, that Joyent shall first consult the Node.js
+Advisory Board and Curator.
+
+### 6.5
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board and its members shall abide by appropriate antitrust
+guidelines.
+
+## 7.  Open Governance Principles
+
+The Node.js Advisory Board will formulate recommendations in conjunction with
+the following open governance principles:
+
+  * Open Contributions: anyone should be able to participate and contribute.
+    All bugs and tasks will be tracked in a public tracker and all of the
+    source code and all of the tools needed to build it will be available under
+    an open license permitting unrestricted use.
+  * Open technical meritocracy: technical merit over pride of authorship. Code
+    is contributed for the express purpose of advancing technologies relevant
+    to the project, effectively separating technology advancement from
+    individual or commercial intent.
+  * Open design: Roadmaps are discussed in the open, and designs receive input
+    from all committers and contributors.
+  * Influence through contribution: organizations and individuals gain
+    influence over the project through contribution.
+  * Open Licensing: code is licensed under the MIT license.
+
+## 8.  Core Criteria
+
+Core Criteria will generally cover such areas as: use of standard APIs, testing
+harness, quality assurance, upstream contribution models, and alternative
+distributions.
+
+As Core Criteria will not be fully defined when the initial Node.js Advisory
+Board membership is formulated, it is understood that there is a possibility
+that certain members of the initial Node.js Advisory Board may not agree with
+the Core Criteria when they are fully defined or may have products/offerings
+that are not in compliance with the Core Criteria at the time they are
+finalized. In this case, the corporate members will either agree to become
+compliant within a specified timeframe or else resign their Node.js Advisory
+Board position.  Read more about the announcement
