The Impact Stage is for projects that have reached their growth goals and are now on a sustaining cycle of development, maintenance, and long-term support. Impact Stage projects are used commonly in enterprise production environments and have large, well-established project communities.
Impact projects offer long-term stability guarantees, and therefore the governing body of Impact projects are expected to have representatives from at least three organizations.

To graduate from At Large stage or for a new project to join as an Impact project, a project must meet the following criteria:

* Demonstrate that it is being used successfully in production by at least two independent end users which, in the CPC’s judgement, are of adequate quality and scope.
* Have a defined governing body of at least 5 or more members (owners and core maintainers), of which no more than 1/3 is affiliated with the same employer. In the case there are 5 governing members, 2 may be from the same employer.

* Have a defined governing body of at least 5 or more members (owners and core maintainers), of which no more than 1/3 is affiliated with the same employer. In the case there are 5 governing members, 2 may be from the same employer. This is to ensure that no single organization can control the project.
* Have a defined governing body of at least 5 or more members (owners and core maintainers), of which no more than 1/3 is affiliated with the same employer. In the case there are 5 governing members, 2 may be from the same employer. This limitation is to ensure broad representation and to prevent a single organization from having excessive influence on project decision-making.

While that is less loaded, it might also be less clear, so...up to you. Just offering it up as a possibility.

* Have a documented and publicly accessible description of the project's governance, decision-making, contribution, and release processes. This is preferably laid out in a GOVERNANCE.md file and references a CONTRIBUTING.md and AUTHORS.md file showing the current and emeritus committers.
* Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions.
* Have a healthy number of committers from at least two organizations. A committer is defined as someone with the commit bit; i.e., someone who can accept contributions to some or all of the project.

* Receive a supermajority vote from the CPC to move to Impact stage. Projects can move directly from At Large to Impact, if they can demonstrate sufficient maturity and have met all requirements.
