Governance and decision making

This page describes the groups with decision-making authority in the Jupyter Book community.

Overview¶

In short, here is the decision making process that we follow:

• All organizational policy is defined in this Team Compass.
• Most day to day decisions are made by Core Team members.
• Team members are expected to follow inclusive team practices when making decisions, and to actively share information and collaborate with one another.
• Members of the Steering Council may vote to break ties if decision making is at an impasse in any part of the organization.
