 ## Contributing
 
-Development happens on GitHub for the spec. Issues are used for bugs and actionable items and longer discussions can happen on the [mailing list](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec#mailing-list).
+See [our contribution documentation](CONTRIBUTING.md).
 
-The specification and code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license found in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec/blob/master/LICENSE) file.
+Development happens on GitHub.
+Responsible disclosure for security issues is discussed [here](CONTRIBUTING.md#security-issues).
+[Issues][issues] are used for non-security bugs and actionable items; longer discussions can happen on the [mailing list](#mailing-list).
 
-### Discuss your design
+### Mailing list
 
-The project welcomes submissions, but please let everyone know what you are working on.
-
-Before undertaking a nontrivial change to this specification, send mail to the [mailing list](#mailing-list) to discuss what you plan to do.
-This gives everyone a chance to validate the design, helps prevent duplication of effort, and ensures that the idea fits.
-It also guarantees that the design is sound before code is written; a GitHub pull-request is not the place for high-level discussions.
-
-Typos and grammatical errors can go straight to a pull-request.
-When in doubt, start on the [mailing-list](#mailing-list).
-
-### Meetings
-
-The contributors and maintainers of all OCI projects have monthly meetings at 2:00 PM (USA Pacific) on the first Wednesday of every month.
-There is an [iCalendar][rfc5545] format for the meetings [here](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/meeting.ics).
-Everyone is welcome to participate via [UberConference web][uberconference] or audio-only: +1 415 968 0849 (no PIN needed).
-An initial agenda will be posted to the [mailing list](#mailing-list) in the week before each meeting, and everyone is welcome to propose additional topics or suggest other agenda alterations there.
-Minutes are posted to the [mailing list](#mailing-list) and minutes from past calls are archived [here][minutes], with minutes from especially old meetings (September 2015 and earlier) archived [here][runtime-wiki].
-

-#### Sign your work
-
-The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch.
-The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from http://developercertificate.org):
-
-```
-Developer Certificate of Origin
-Version 1.1
-
-Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
-660 York Street, Suite 102,
-San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
-
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
-license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-
-Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
-
-By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
-
-(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
-    have the right to submit it under the open source license
-    indicated in the file; or
-
-(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
-    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
-    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
-    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
-    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
-    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
-    in the file; or
-
-(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
-    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
-    it.
-
-(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
-    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
-    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
-    maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
-    this project or the open source license(s) involved.
-```
-
-then you just add a line to every git commit message:
-
-    Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <[email protected]>
-
-using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
-
-You can add the sign off when creating the git commit via `git commit -s`.
-
-#### Commit Style
-
-Simple house-keeping for clean git history.
-Read more on [How to Write a Git Commit Message][how-to-git-commit] or the Discussion section of [git-commit(1)][git-commit.1].
-
-1. Separate the subject from body with a blank line
-2. Limit the subject line to 50 characters
-3. Capitalize the subject line
-4. Do not end the subject line with a period
-5. Use the imperative mood in the subject line
-6. Wrap the body at 72 characters
-7. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
-    * If there was important/useful/essential conversation or information, copy or include a reference
-8. When possible, one keyword to scope the change in the subject (i.e. "README: ...", "runtime: ...")
