## Summary
12+
13+
Ray adopts a technical governance structure that is hierarchical.
14+
- A community of **contributors** who file issues, make pull requests, and contribute to the project.
15+
- A set of **committers** who drive Ray development.
16+
- A **technical steering committee** which drives the overall project direction.
17+
- A few **lead maintainers** who are the catch-all decision makers.
18+
19+
All committers are expected to have a strong bias toward Ray’s design philosophy.
20+
21+
## Committers
22+
23+
Committers are responsible for approving pull requests before they are merged. Approval from a committer is required before a pull request can be merged.
24+
25+
The criteria for becoming a committer will be outlined by the TSC. Committers are added by a supermajority (greater than 67%) of the TSC and removed by a majority vote (greater than 50%) of the TSC.
26+
27+
Committers are automatically moved to emeritus status after 12 months with no merged pull requests authored or reviewed. Reactivation is by a TSC vote.
28+
29+
## Technical Steering Committee
30+
31+
The technical steering committee (the "TSC") is responsible for all technical oversight of Ray. In particular, shepherding and approving [Ray Enhancement Proposals](https://github.com/ray-project/enhancements).
32+
33+
The TSC can have up to 7 members. This ceiling can be raised by a supermajority (greater than 67%) of the TSC.
34+
35+
The TSC members are listed in {ref}`people`.
36+
37+
The TSC makes decisions by consensus. For difficult decisions, in case of a failure to reach consensus, the decision is made by a majority vote (greater than 50%) of the lead maintainers.
38+
39+
Any member of the TSC can nominate someone to become a member of the TSC. The addition or removal of a TSC member requires a supermajority (greater than 67%) of the entire TSC and a majority (greater than 50%) of the lead maintainers.
40+
41+
## Lead maintainers
42+
43+
There may be difficult decisions in which the TSC cannot come to a consensus. To make such difficult decisions, the TSC has assigned a small set of lead maintainers among them.
44+
45+
The lead maintainers are listed in {ref}`people`.
46+
47+
Any lead maintainer can be removed by a supermajority (greater than 67%) of the TSC.
48+
49+
Following the resignation, removal, or permanent unavailability of a lead maintainer, a supermajority (greater than 67%) of the TSC can decide to replace the lead maintainer. Replacement is handled by a ranked-choice ballot among the TSC. The number of lead maintainers must stay between 1 and 3 (inclusive).
50+
51+
