+## Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct v2.1
+
+### Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
+identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+### Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
+  community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
+  any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
+  without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+### Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+### Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+### Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement as outlined above
+in [Reporting](#reporting). All complaints will be reviewed and investigated
+promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+### Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+#### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+#### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
+ban.
+
+#### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+#### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community.

+
+## Organizers
+
+Standard organizers are the organization owners and lead maintainers.
+They are the only members of the `@standard/leads` team. The organizers
+are the curators of the standard project and their key responsibility
+is to issue releases of standard packages and its dependencies.
+
+## Collaborators
+
+Standard collaborators maintain the projects of the standard organization.
+
+They are split into the following teams:
+
+|  Team | Responsibility  |  Repository |
+|---|---|---|
+| `@standard/leads` | Standard lead maintainers | GitHub organization owners |
+| `@standard/core`   |  Standard Core development  |  `standard`, `standard-engine`, `eslint-config-standard`, `eslint-config-standard-with-typescript` |
+| `@standard/config`   |  Build, maintain and release standard configs  | `eslint-config-standard`, `eslint-config-standard-with-typescript` |
+
+Every member of the org is also part of `@standard/standard`.
+
+Collaborators have:
+
+* Commit access to the projects repository of the team they belong
+* Grant to request/suggest a new release following the [semver](https://semver.org/) model.
+
+Both collaborators and non-collaborators may propose changes to the source code
+of the projects of the organization. The mechanism to propose such a change is a
+GitHub pull request. Collaborators review and merge (_land_) pull requests
+following the [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md#rules) guidelines.
+
+### Collaborator activities
+
+* Helping users and novice contributors
+* Contributing code and documentation changes that improve the project
+* Reviewing and commenting on issues and pull requests
+* Participation in working groups
+* Merging pull requests
+* Release configs
+
+## Collaborator nominations
+
+Individuals making significant and valuable contributions to the project may be
+a candidate to join the Standard organization.
+
+A collaborator needs to open a private team discussion on GitHub and list the
+candidates they want to sponsor with a link to the user's contributions. For
+example:
+
+* Activities in the standard organization
+  `[USERNAME](https://github.com/search?q=author:USERNAME+org:standard)`
+
+Otherwise, a contributor may self-apply if they believe they meet the above
+criteria by reaching out to a lead maintainer privately with the links to their
+valuable contributions. The lead maintainers will reply to the Contributor and
+will decide if candidate it to be made a collaborator.
+
+The consensus to grant a new candidate collaborator status is reached when:
+
+- at least one of the organizers approve
+- at least two of the team members approve
+
+After these conditions are satisfied, the [onboarding
+process](CONTRIBUTING.md#onboarding-collaborators) may start.
+
+## Rule Adoption Committee
+A subset of collaborators and organizers form the rule adoption committee.
+The rule adoption committee has final authority over the rules adopted by standard.
+The rule adoption committee is to meet once quarterly to discuss adoption of proposed rules to Standard.
+These rules adjustments may be proposed by any member of the community at large and are to be added the
+rule adoption committee agenda for discussion during each committee meeting.
+Given that the rule adoption committee also consists of members of the standard organization,
+other issues may also be discussed as needed.
+
+## Organizer nominations
+
+A team member may be promoted to an organizer only through nomination by a
+organizer and with consensus from the rest of organizers.
+
+## Consensus seeking process
+
+The standard organization follows a [Consensus Seeking][] decision-making model.
