+# Tier 4: Community Governance
+
+## What is a Tier 4 Project?
+
+A **Tier 4** project is a fully **open and collaborative** project that operates under a **community governance model**. In Tier 4 projects, the focus is on **collaborating broadly with the public**, and the project is often either **donated** to or **stewarded** by an external community. The governance structure is **open** and welcomes input from a wide range of contributors, typically from outside the original development team.
+
+### Key Characteristics of a Tier 4 Project:
+- **Broad public collaboration** with contributions welcomed from the community.
+- **Community-led governance**, where decisions are made transparently, often with input from various stakeholders.
+- **Mature open-source project**, typically with a well-defined governance structure to guide development, maintenance, and project direction.
