Higress Governance

Higress is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sandbox project. This document describes the project's open governance model.

All community members must follow the CNCF Code of Conduct and the project's adopted policy in CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.

Values

Higress governance is guided by the following values:

  • Openness: Communication and decision making happen in public channels and repositories whenever possible.
  • Fairness: Contributions are evaluated on technical merit rather than company affiliation.
  • Community First: Long-term community health has priority over short-term product goals.
  • Inclusivity: We welcome contributors from different regions and backgrounds.
  • Participation: Project responsibilities are earned through sustained contribution.

Roles

Higress role definitions are documented in:

Decision Making

Higress uses lazy consensus by default.

When consensus cannot be reached, maintainers may start a vote on a public issue or pull request. A simple majority of votes cast decides the outcome.

For governance or project direction changes, maintainers should allow adequate time for public discussion before finalizing decisions.

Governance Updates

Changes to this document are made through pull requests and approved by maintainers.
