title: JSR Governance Charter | ||
description: JSR is a project built for the entire JavaScript ecosystem. This document outlines the charter document. | ||
--- | ||
|
||
## 1. Mission and purpose | ||
|
||
The JSR board exists to improve the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystem by | ||
providing a community service for sharing code through mechanisms such as | ||
hosting, moderation, and facilitating easy access to shared resources. | ||
|
||
## 2. Board composition | ||
|
||
The board will consist of 5 members. Members are selected based on their ability | ||
to represent large swaths of JavaScript users, including key stakeholders such | ||
as developers, framework authors, and platform maintainers. | ||
|
||
## 3. Responsibilities | ||
|
||
The board will be responsible for: | ||
|
||
Setting policy and strategy for JSR. Overseeing operational matters, including | ||
securing a legal home for the organization. Ensuring alignment with the mission | ||
and acting as stewards of the community's trust. | ||
|
||
## 4. Decision-making | ||
|
||
Decisions will be made by majority vote. A quorum is required to hold a vote, | ||
defined as at least 3 members present. | ||
|
||
## 5. Term limits and roles | ||
|
||
Board members do not have term limits. No formal roles (e.g., chair, secretary) | ||
are defined at this time. | ||
|
||
## 6. Legal organization | ||
|
||
The board will function as an informal group initially. Members agree to abide | ||
by board decisions. One of the board's primary goals is to establish a legal | ||
home for JSR, either by joining an existing foundation (e.g., Linux Foundation, | ||
OpenJS) or forming its own 501(c)(3) or similar entity. | ||
|
||
## 7. Transparency | ||
|
||
Board decisions and meeting minutes will be posted publicly on an accessible | ||
platform, such as the organization's website or a public repository. | ||
|
||
## 8. Dispute resolution | ||
|
||
All disagreements among board members will be resolved through majority voting. | ||
|
||
## 9. Funding | ||
|
||
Funding will be provided by the Deno Company until a formal legal structure is | ||
established. In the event that Deno Company funding becomes unavailable, the | ||
board will explore alternative funding sources, including community | ||
contributions, sponsorships, or grants. | ||
|
||
## 10. Charter amendments | ||
|
||
The board will have the authority to revise this charter as necessary, following | ||
the same decision-making process (majority vote). Amendments will be | ||
communicated to the community through public postings, with an opportunity for | ||
review and feedback before finalization. | ||
|
||
## 11. Conflict of interest policy | ||
|
||
Board members must disclose any conflicts of interest that may arise and recuse | ||
themselves from decisions where such conflicts exist. | ||
|
||
## 12. Onboarding and offboarding | ||
|
||
New board members will be onboarded with a briefing on the charter and current | ||
initiatives. A member may resign by providing written notice. Removal of a | ||
member requires a majority vote of the remaining board. |
