+The Steering Committee may create a working group to consider changes to the governance
+model described in this document, including the creation of new Teams that support the
+goals of The Project. Changes to the governance model will require a voting process and
+approval equivalent to the process described in PDEP-1, with the exception that all
+Stewards are eligible to vote.  
+
+The Steering Committee may appoint temporary working groups to work on issues, such as
+governance, that fall outside the scope of responsibilities for the existing Teams.
+
+The ideal composition of the Steering Committee consists of 5 people.  The Steering
+Committee will be chosen via an approval voting process from a slate of nominees,
+meaning that each person who is eligible to vote may vote for more than one candidate
+from the slate.  
+
+### Initial Election
+
+The initial slate for the Steering Committee election will consist of 5 or more
+candidates who volunteer to be on the slate of candidates for the initial Steering
+Committee.  For the initial election, any candidate receiving more than 50% of the total
+number of members of the previous _pandas_ core team that register at least one vote
+will then become a member of the initial Steering Committee. 
+
+### Subsequent Elections  
+
+Subsequent changes to the membership of the Steering Committee will occur towards the
+end of each calendar year.  By November 30 of each year, each member of the Steering
+Committee will be asked if they would like to continue in that role. If any member
+decides to step down from the Steering Committee, new volunteers will be solicited from
+the group of stewards by the Steering Committee.  Those new volunteers will then be on a
+slate for an election that will occur by December 15 of that year.  For each year after
+the initial election, the current Steering Committee members plus any new volunteers on
+the slate will be elected via approval voting, with the top 5 candidates elected as
+Steering Committee members for the subsequent year.
+
+## Teams
+
+Each Team has defined responsibilities for different aspects of the project.  As a
+general rule, an Individual Contributor can be nominated by a member of a Team to become
+a member of that Team, and the Team must unanimously agree to admitting that person to
+the Team, since every Team member becomes a Steward of the Project. If a member of a
+Team is inactive for more than one year, the Team may unanimously decide to remove that
+person from the Team. Each Team will maintain its own private mailing list if the Team
+deems it to be necessary. There will also be a mailing list consisting of all Stewards
+of all Teams.
+
+Each Team has specific responsibilities as well as Permissions authorities, as defined
+below. In addition, specific criteria are used by Team Members to guide decisions on
+adding new Members to the Team.
+
+The description of each Team can be found in https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas-governance/teams.md .
