Governance is organized as a simple hierarchy. At the top, the
Participation Agreement
defines the overall expectations for collaborators across the
community. The OME Management Group (OMG), described by the
charter and
roster,
provides lightweight oversight and coordination across OME
Registered Projects (ORPs), which are listed in the
Project Roster. Each project then
defines its own scope and participants via an ORP Charter
and ORP Roster, starting from a shared template. This
layered approach keeps governance simple at the top while
allowing more structure where it is needed in practice.
