+# LoopBack Charter
+
+_note: the purpose of a project charter is to provide a brief introduction_
+_to the project from a technical, community, or business perspective. The_
+_document also connects a project's community leadership and governance with the_
+_OpenJS Foundation's governance._
+
+## Section 0: Guiding Principles (optional)
+
+_directions: provide a concise, high-level statement about_
+_the project's long-term principles, values, or mission._
+
+ex. [Node.js TSC Charter](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/blob/HEAD/TSC-Charter.md#section-1-guiding-principle)
+
+LoopBack (herein "Project") is part of the OpenJS Foundation which operates
+transparently, openly, collaboratively and ethically. Project proposals,
+timelines, and statuses must be open and visible to outsiders.
+
+## Section 1: Scope
+
+_directions: Include a 3-4 sentence summary of what the project does,_
+_and/or what problems it solves. Imagine trying to explain your work_
+_to a colleague who is familiar with related technical concepts but unfamiliar_
+_with the project. You may also want to describe the project's value to community_
+_and/or business stakeholders._
+
+ex. [K8s SIG Architecture Charter](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/HEAD/sig-architecture/charter.md#scope)
+
+The Project intends to create and maintain a collection of Node.js packages to
+provide developers with the tools to create enterprise solutions which require
+interaction between a diverse set of APIs. Notably, the Project emphasizes the
+creation of extensible, open APIs to empower developers with flexibility and
+modularity. This allows the packages easily adapted to a wide range of
+use-cases and allows different subsets of the Project to be used as needed.
+
+### 1.1: In-scope (optional)
+
+_directions: list or bullet out problem spaces, use cases, repositories_
+_or other projects which are included with the work but may not be readily_
+_apparent. This may help differentiate the project from other solutions in the_
+_space. If you are not using this section, please indicate your intent with the_
+_phrase, 'Section Intentionally Left Blank'._
+
+ex. [K8s SIG Architecture Charter](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/HEAD/sig-architecture/charter.md#in-scope)
+
+- Maintenance of existing Node.js packages
+  - Supporting latest versions of Node.js
+  - Managing deprecation
+- Modernisation and extension of existing Node.js packages
+- Creating new Node.js packages
+- Documenting and standardising interfaces for common interactions
+
+### 1.2: Out-of-Scope (optional)
+
+_directions: list or bullet out areas that may be seen to be related but are_
+_not included in the scope of this project. This may help clarify the kind of_
+_features, contributions, issues or problems the project is looking for._
+_If you are not using this section, please indicate your intent with the_
+_phrase, 'Section Intentionally Left Blank'._
+
+ex. [K8s SIG Architecture Charter](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/HEAD/sig-architecture/charter.md#out-of-scope)
+
+- Support versions of Node.js at EOL (end of life) stage
+- Contributions that violates the [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-next/blob/master/docs/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
+
+## Section 2: Relationship with OpenJS Foundation CPC.
+
+_directions: describe how the project intersects with the Cross Project_
+_Council._
+
+ex. [Node.js TSC Charter](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/blob/HEAD/TSC-Charter.md#section-2-evolution-of-openjs-foundation-governance)
+
+Technical leadership for the projects within the OpenJS Foundation is delegated
+to the projects through their project charters by the OpenJS Foundation Cross
+Project Council (CPC). In the case of LoopBack, it is delegated to the LoopBack
+Technical Steering Committee (“TSC”). OpenJS Foundation’s business leadership is
+the Board of Directors (the “Board”).
+
+This Technical Steering Committee Charter reflects a carefully constructed
+balanced role for the TSC and the CPC in the governance of the OpenJS
+Foundation. The charter amendment process is for the TSC to propose changes
+using lazy consensus of the TSC, the proposed changes being subject to review
+and approval by the CPC. The CPC may additionally make amendments to the TSC
+charter at any time, though the CPC will not interfere with day-to-day
+discussions, votes or meetings of the TSC.
+
+### 2.1 Other Formal Project Relationships (optional)
+
+_directions: describe any additional affiliations or groups that liaise with_
+_the project in a formal way (such as a W3C Community Group, for example)._
+_If you are not using this section, please indicate your intent with the_
+_phrase, 'Section Intentionally Left Blank'._

+
+## Section 3: LoopBack TSC Governing Body
+
+_directions: describe the structure of the group responsible for managing_
+_the project and its respective organization and repositories. If there are_
+_specific rules for membership or participation in the group, list them here or_
+_by reference to a governance.md document._
+
+ex. [Node.js TSC Charter](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/blob/HEAD/TSC-Charter.md#section-3-establishment-of-the-tsc)
+
+TSC memberships are not time-limited. There is no maximum size of the TSC. The
+size is expected to vary in order to ensure adequate coverage of important areas
+of expertise, balanced with the ability to make decisions efficiently. The TSC
+must have at least four members. Although there are no hard requirements, the
+composition of the TSC should aim for geographic and employer diversity in the
+spirit of a distributed maintenance model.
+
+## Section 4: Roles & Responsibilities
+
+_directions: describe the roles and responsibilities of the LoopBack Governing Body._

+
+The role of a LoopBack Maintainer is given to those that the LoopBack TSC
