+# Governance
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This document outlines the governance model for the [No Clocks, LLC](https://github.com/noclocks) open-source development team. It includes detailed descriptions of the roles and responsibilities of the team members, as well as the decision-making process and the rules for the team's operations.
+
+- **All members of the team are expected to adhere to the rules and guidelines outlined in this document as well as the organization's [Code of Conduct (CoC)](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).**
+
+## Contribution
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> [No Clocks, LLC](https://github.com/noclocks) strives to be an open and inclusive community. We welcome contributions from everyone, regardless of their experience and want to recognize that everyone's contributions are valuable.
+
+- **All contributions to the organization's open-source projects are subject to the rules and guidelines outlined in the [Contributing Guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md).**
+
+## Roles and Responsibilities
+
+We recognize different levels of contribution as four different Contributor Levels. Because each level comes with a new set of privileges and responsibilities, you may also see these levels referred to as Contributor Roles.
+
+Contributor levels are available to all members of the Astro community, regardless of coding skill or experience.
+
+Two important things that we look for in a contributor are:
+
+Being here - Everyone's time is valuable, and the fact that you're here and contributing to Astro is amazing! Thank you for being a part of this project with us.
+Being a positive member of our community - Go above and beyond our Code of Conduct and commit to healthy communication across pull requests, issue discussions, Discord conversations, and any interactions outside of our community
