## Step-by-Step Guide

1. **Team Consultation**: Collaborate with your team and stakeholders to discuss adopting the governance model template. You'll want to consider topics like:
- Decide on how big of a team you currently estimate wanting to be
- Roles (and how contributors can be promoted between roles)
- Committees (the groups that guide your project)
2. **Customize the Template**:
- View and download our [Governance Model Template](GOVERNANCE-TEMPLATE.md).
- Committees (the groups that guide your project - if any)
2. **Choose the Right Template**:
- Depending on the size of your team, choose between:
- [Governance Model Template (Small Teams)](pathname:///assets/governance/governance-model/GOVERNANCE-TEMPLATE-SMALL-TEAMS.md) - ideal for 1-3 active team members.
- [Governance Model Template (Medium Teams)](pathname:///assets/governance/governance-model/GOVERNANCE-TEMPLATE-MEDIUM-TEAMS.md) - ideal for 3-10 active team members.
- [Governance Model Template (Large Teams)](pathname:///assets/governance/governance-model/GOVERNANCE-TEMPLATE-LARGE-TEAMS.md) - ideal for 10+ active team members.
3. **Customize the Template**:
- Place the template in a `GOVERNANCE.md` file within the root folder of your repository.
- Modify and personalize the template, replacing `[INSERT ...]` text with specifics for your project.
3. **Implement the Governance Model**:
4. **Implement the Governance Model**:
