+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
+identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+  community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+  any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+  without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible, please refer to the "Steering
+Comittee" section in [AUTHORS.md](AUTHORS.md).
+
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community.

+# Governance Policy
+
+This document provides the governance policy for the Project. Maintainers agree to this policy and to abide by all Project polices,
+including the [code of conduct](./CODE-OF-CONDUCT.md) and by adding their name to the [AUTHORS.md file](./AUTHORS.md).
+
+## 1. Roles.
+
+This project may include the following roles. Additional roles may be adopted and documented by the Project.
+
+**1.1. Maintainers**. Maintainers are responsible for organizing activities around developing, maintaining, and updating
+the Project. Maintainers are also responsible for determining consensus. This Project may add or remove Maintainers with
+the approval of the current Maintainers.
+
+**1.2. Contributors**. Contributors are those that have made contributions to the Project.
+
+## 2. Decisions.
+
+**2.1. Consensus-Based Decision Making**. Projects make decisions through consensus of the Maintainers. While explicit
+agreement of all Maintainers is preferred, it is not required for consensus. Rather, the Maintainers will determine
+consensus based on their good faith consideration of a number of factors, including the dominant view of the
+Contributors and nature of support and objections. The Maintainers will document evidence of consensus in accordance
+with these requirements.
+
+**2.2. Appeal Process**. Decisions may be appealed by opening an issue and that appeal will be considered by the
+Maintainers in good faith, who will respond in writing within a reasonable time. If the Maintainers deny the appeal,
+the appeal may be brought before the Organization Steering Committee, who will also respond in writing in a reasonable
+time.
+
+## 3. How We Work.
+
+**3.1. Openness**. Participation is open to anyone who is directly and materially affected by the activity in question.
+There shall be no undue financial barriers to participation.
+
+**3.2. Balance**. The development process should balance the interests of Contributors and other stakeholders.
+Contributors from diverse interest categories shall be sought with the objective of achieving balance.
+
+**3.3. Coordination and Harmonization**. Good faith efforts shall be made to resolve potential conflicts or
+incompatibility between releases in this Project.
+
+**3.4. Consideration of Views and Objections**. Prompt consideration shall be given to the written views and
+objections of all Contributors.
+
+**3.5. Written procedures**. This governance document and other materials documenting this project's development
+process shall be available to any interested person.
+
+## 4. No Confidentiality.
+
+Information disclosed in connection with any Project activity, including but not limited to meetings, contributions,
+and submissions, is not confidential, regardless of any markings or statements to the contrary.
+
+## 5. Trademarks.
+
+Any names, trademarks, logos, or goodwill developed by and associated with the Project (the "Marks") are controlled by
+the Organization. Maintainers may only use these Marks in accordance with the Organization's trademark policy. If a
+Maintainer resigns or is removed, any rights the Maintainer may have in the Marks revert to the Organization.
+
+## 6. Amendments.
+
+Amendments to this governance policy may be made by affirmative vote of 2/3 of all Maintainers, with approval by the
+Organization's Steering Committee.
