# Node.js GitHub Organization Management Policy | ||
|
||
The Node.js Foundation GitHub Organization (https://github.com/nodejs) is | ||
provided as a development resource by the Node.js Foundation under the direction | ||
of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee (TSC) and Node.js Foundation | ||
Community Committee (CommComm). | ||
|
||
## Node.js Admin Repository | ||
|
||
The [Node.js admin repository](https://github.com/nodejs/admin) serves as the | ||
central location for managing Node.js GitHub Organization administrative | ||
activities. Only Node.js GitHub Organization owners, TSC members, and Community | ||
Committee members have write permissions to the Node.js admin repository. | ||
|
||
## Organization Roles | ||
|
||
### Owners | ||
|
||
TSC members and the Chair of the Community Committee are the only individuals granted | ||
Owner permissions within the Node.js GitHub Organization. | ||
|
||
### Members | ||
|
||
GitHub users are added as members to the Node.js GitHub Organization when they | ||
are added to any Working Group or team. Organization Owners should add new | ||
members to the organization when requested by a Working Group or team. | ||
|
||
## Repositories | ||
|
||
Any organization member may request the creation of a new repository within the | ||
Node.js Foundation GitHub Organization by opening an issue in the Node.js admin | ||
repository. Provided there are no objections from any TSC or CommComm members, | ||
such requests are approved automatically after 72 hours. If any objection is | ||
made, the request may be moved to a vote in each of the Technical Steering and | ||
Community Committees. A simple majority of each group *rejecting* the creation | ||
of the repository is required to block creating the repository. Such requests | ||
must be posted as issues in the Node.js admin repository. | ||
|
||
Any repository created under the Node.js GitHub Organization is considered to be | ||
a project under the ownership of the Node.js Foundation, and thereby subject | ||
to the Intellectual Property and Governance policies of the Foundation. | ||
|
||
No repository may be deleted, transferred into, or transferred out of the | ||
Node.js Foundation GitHub Organization without a simple majority of both the | ||
TSC and CommComm in favor of the action. In certain cases, Node.js Foundation | ||
Board of Directors approval may also be required. | ||
|
||
## Removing or Banning Individuals | ||
|
||
Only Node.js GitHub Organization owners may remove an individual from the | ||
Node.js Foundation membership or ban individuals. This is due largely to | ||
limitations in the way GitHub permissions are structured. | ||
|
||
To remove any current member from the GitHub organization, an issue must be | ||
opened in the Node.js admin repository. If, after 72 hours, there are no | ||
objections from any TSC or Community Committee members, removal becomes | ||
automatic. If there are objections, then simple majority votes of each of the | ||
Technical Steering and Community Committees in favor of removal are required. | ||
|
||
Banning an individual who is not currently a member of the GitHub organization | ||
may occur at any time subject to the policies outlined in the Moderation | ||
Guidelines. | ||
|
||
## Use of Bots and Services | ||
|
||
Automation tools such as bots and third-party services on any repository must | ||
be approved by the TSC and CommComm and are subject to regular security audits. | ||
Bots that perform actions on behalf of the project (such as moderation or membership | ||
management actions) are required to maintain a log, accessible to all individuals | ||
granted Owner permissions, of all actions taken. | ||

Agreed, I thought that was a detail we could leave out with the the assumption it would include chairs in the exception case (which of course is what we have now).
