+Decision Making
+
+The Docs Working Group will establish a council (by Jupyter convention) to make decisions.
+
+The Docs Working Group Council will initially be made up of the founding members. Council members can then initiate a vote to add new members (or remove members by a two thirds majority with a quorum of two thirds of all council members). The voting process will follow the guidelines established in the [Jupyter Governance Decision Making document](https://jupyter.org/governance/decision_making.html).
