# Project Governance
This is an example governance document for projects that use the very common
"maintainer council" system of governance. See [GOVERNANCE.md](/GOVERNANCE.md)
for more information. Thanks to the Jaeger Project for portions of the text
below.
This is a template document for CNCF projects that requires editing
before it is ready to use. Read the markdown comments, `<!-- COMMENT -->`, for
additional guidance. The raw markdown uses `TODO` to identify areas that
require customization. Replace [TODO: PROJECTNAME] with the name of your project.
