-## Developers
+To elect a developer into the core team, one of the core team members needs to
+make a proposal, presenting the case to the entire core team. The core team
+will meet (online) and discuss the case. Eventually, the core team will vote. A
+candidate winning at least two third of the votes will be elected. 
+
+The membership of the core team
+is not permanent. If a core team member is not actively engaged for a long
+period of time, a member can propose to vote him/her out. The same procedure
+will be followed, and two third of the votes are needed. 
+The founding members cannot be voted out.
