Details

Adds a document sketching out some principles that define what TAMS is, and how we make technical decisions. I see this as the document we refer to when we're trying to decide how something should work, or how to make a tricky decision.

This is a fairly early draft based on a discussion back in November in the early days of sketching out what governance would look like. I've tried to integrate the comments from that discussion, but right now it's very much my view. I'd definitely appreciate thoughts and comments on this, both from the TSC as it stands, and the community as a whole.

decisions and evolve it, to aid technical decision making by the TSC
(and others!).
