+# Repository Template and Usage Guide
+
+## Summary
+
+This repository is designed to serve as a template for all Ceph committees.
+
+## Repository Naming Convention
+
+To maintain a clear and organized naming system, repositories should follow this convention:
+
+{topic}-committee
+
+For example:
+* outreach-committee
+* hardware-committee
+* governance-committee
+
+This naming convention helps identify the purpose and scope of the repository at a glance.
+
+## Required Contents
+
+Every committee repository must include the following files:
+
+### 1. README.md
+
+The README.md file serves as the repository’s introduction and documentation. It should include:
+
+* The goal of the committee.
+* The desired outcomes the committee aims to achieve.
+* A list of members involved in the committee, including their roles (e.g., chair).
+
+An example template can be found at the bottom of this README
+
+
+### 2. LICENSE
+
+The LICENSE.md file specifies the repository’s licensing terms. Apache 2.0 is recommended. 
+
+## Objectives & Key Results (OKRs)
+
+While not mandatory, we encourage committees to define and commit to achievable OKRs. These OKRs should follow an 
+annual cycle and be documented in a file named YYYY-OKRs.md. A template is provided below.
+
+## Visibility
+
+We encourage committees to keep their repositories public. However there might be valid reasons for a repository
+needing to be private, when in doubt please ask the board. 
+
+## Issues and Github Projects
+
+Committees are encouraged to leverage Github issues and projects to organize and track their work. 
+
+
+## README.md Template
+
+```
+# [Committee Name]
+ 
+## Goal
+
+[A committee’s goal should be a clear, actionable, and purpose-driven statement that aligns with
+Ceph's broader mission. It should outline the committee’s desired outcome or contribution. For example:
+
+To ensure the Ceph community can efficiently build, test, and release software by addressing the
+bottlenecks in the current build environment, enhancing lab capacity, and diversifying infrastructure
+to reduce single points of failure. ]
+
+## Desired Outcomes
+
+[Broadly What the committee aims to achieve. For example:
+
+1. Increased Build Capacity
+2. Diversified Infrastructure
+3. Optimized Resource Utilization
+]
+
+## Committee Members
+
+[A list of who is on the committee and their roles if applicable]
+
+* [First Name, Last Name (@githubid) - Role]

+
+## YYYY-OKRs.md Template
+
+```
+OKR Template
+This template provides a structured way to outline Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) broken down by quarters.
+
+## Q1: [Year]
+
+### Objective 1: [State the high-level goal you want to achieve this quarter.]
+
+### Key Results:
+
+[KR 1: Specific measurable result tied to the objective.]
+[KR 2: Specific measurable result tied to the objective.]
+[KR 3: Specific measurable result tied to the objective.]
+
