Node.js' leadership is instantiated in a Board of Directors. There are are number of organizations that have absolutely contributed to the growth of Node.js--NodeSchool, NodeBots, and thousands of individual meetups. This is not an exhaustive list.The champions of these organizations have very different skillsets, talents, and concerns. The community organizations of Node.js have long been important to the growth and vitality of the project and will be recognized as the Community Committee(CC) as represented on the Board by the existing Individual Membership Board Directors. +Community activities, such as ecosystem projects and events, fall outside of the realm of code and documentation that the [TSC](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC) oversees.

There was consideration for creation of a separate GitHub organization to establish this committee, as it runs adjacent to the TSC and the TSC currently oversees all repositories under the /nodejs org. The concern for this being too separate(and ironically so as the Community org) as a separate organization to start overrode the need for administrative permissions separations. This will be addressed in future issues and pull requests. +This repository is for bootstrapping the the Community Committee with existing structures.

The best way to do that right now is watching this repo, participating in the issues, and asking questions in TSC meetings as they help to advise the formation of this autonomous committee. +Please contribute!
