+Project Governance
+==================
+
+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+   :depth: 2
+   :local:
+
+Since 2025, the ros-controls project has been governed by the `Open Source Robotics Alliance (OSRA) <https://osralliance.org/>`__.
+The information below is meant to give a quick overview of the project governance, but for full information please see `the OSRA's website <https://osralliance.org/how-it-works/>`__.
+
+The ros-controls Project Management Committee is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the ros-controls project.
+The ros-controls PMC consists of the Project Leader, the ros-controls PMC Members (who have full voting rights), a Supporting Individual Representative, and the Chair of the TGC.
+The project also has Committers, who help manage one or more repositories but are not a part of the PMC.
+The Project Leader, all PMC Members, and all Committers are chosen on a meritocratic basis.
+
+The day-to-day operations of the ros-controls PMC include managing the members and committers, managing the repositories that make up ros-controls, reviewing and merging code from the ros-controls community, maintaining the repositories, and making technical decisions that decide the direction of the project.
+
+For more details about the ros-controls PMC, please see the `Charter for the ros-controls Project <https://github.com/openrobotics/osra-policies-and-procedures/pull/7>`__.
