+# Structure and governance of 2i2c
+
+2i2c is an organization dedicated to supporting open infrastructure in interactive computing for research and education, as well as the open source communities that underlie this infrastructure. Its host organization is {ref}`structure:icsi`.
+
+This page describes the major organizational structures of 2i2c, and how they relate to governance and operations.
+
+:::{admonition} A few notes on governance
+- All 2i2c members act as individuals, and not on behalf of their affiliated institutions.
+- All decisions made by the 2i2c Steering Council or Teams must abide by the policies of its host organization, {ref}`structure:icsi`.
+:::
+
+## Steering Council
+
+The Steering Council defines the mission, vision, and values of 2i2c. It also sets the strategic direction and priorities for 2i2c. The Steering Council provides oversight to the Executive Director of 2i2c and the Operations Team.
+
+The Steering Council makes decisions via consensus (all members voting in the affirmative), and is restricted by the legal obligations and policies of ICSI. It uses the following process for these decisions:
+
+* Open an issue in the `meta/` GitHub repository using [the {guilabel}`decision` template](https://github.com/2i2c-org/meta/issues/new?assignees=&labels=decision&template=decision.md&title=%7B%7B+Decision+Summary+%7D%7D).
+* Have conversation around the decision in that issue. This may happen in the issue directly, or in ancillary issues, meetings, etc that are relevant. The decision issue should link to these relevant spaces.
+* Once everybody has voted, if all vote in favor, then the vote passes. If anyone votes against, the vote does not pass. Either way, note the decision in the issue, close it, and take necessary action.
+
+:::{seealso}
+The current Steering Council is [listed on the 2i2c website](https://2i2c.org/about/#steering-council).
+:::
+
+## Executive Director
+
+The Executive Director oversees the execution of the mission and strategy provided by the Steering Council.
+They are the primary interface to {ref}`ICSI's <structure:icsi>` administration, and coordinate activity in the 2i2c Teams.
+The Executive Director oversees each team, and makes tie-breaking decisions if they are at an impasse in decision-making.
+The Executive Director reports to the Steering Council.
+
+:::{seealso}
+The current Executive Director of 2i2c is listed on the [Our Team page of the website](https://2i2c.org/about/#our-team).
+:::
+
+
+## 2i2c Teams
+
+2i2c Teams carry out the mission of 2i2c with a specific focus or project.
+They are made up of staff funded through ICSI, employees at other organizations providing in-kind support, or volunteers contributing their time to 2i2c.
+Each team has a decision-making process as well as a scope.
+
+You can find a list of teams below.
+
+```{contents}
+:local: true
+:backlinks: none
+```
+
+### 2i2c Open Engineering Team
+
+**Team focus:** Build infrastructure for the 2i2c Hub service, contributions to open source contributions for projects that underlie this infrastructure, and development of a bootstrap business model around that service.
+
+**Governance:** [Lazy consensus-seeking](http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2019/04/19/aic-adventures-in-consensus/), or via delegation to individuals or groups within that team. This does not currently follow a formal process, but is made in good-faith conversation across the 2i2c repositories and issues.

 Single Source of Truth
   Remote teams and open communities need to balance information across team members, and ensure that everyone is on the same page. For this reason, it is recommended to adopt a "single source of truth" for anything important. This is an authoritative source that everyone can look to in order to know the current status and plan for anything we do at 2i2c.
