+## Joining a team
+
+Each team has different policies for joining new team members, as well as different responsibilities once you join. For now, you should talk to a team lead to learn what the team's policy is (and please encourage them to document the policy here!). In general, most teams expect you to at least:
+- Contribute to the team for at least a couple months before joining
+- Respond within a reasonable time to [Final Comment Periods][fcps] on RFCs and PRs.

+
+### Joining wg-triage
+
+One exception to the above is wg-triage, which we highly recommend as an introduction to working on the project. wg-triage works on triaging issues and PRs in the rust-lang/rust repository, and does not require prior experience with programming or compilers. Feel free to join wg-triage if you have ever interacted with the Rust project (interacting frequently enough that we recognize you is encouraged but not required).
+
+To join this team, simply talk to [Dylan-DPC] and then open a PR to [rust-lang/team][team-repo]. See [team#1826] for an example of what changes to make.
+
+For more information about wg-triage, see [Triage Procedure].
