+
+## Meetings
+
+- Biweekly on Thursdays @ 10am Pacific
+
+## Introduction
+
+This charter describes the operations of the CNCF Public Sector User Group, which focuses on developing and sharing cloud native practices for public sector organizations that are building and operating cloud native infrastructure or applications.
+
+This user group (UG) produces supporting material and best practices for end users in the public sector and provides guidance and coordination for CNCF projects working within the group's scope.
+
+## Mission
+
+The mission of the CNCF Public Sector User Group is to:
+
+- Collaborate on areas related to developing, distributing, deploying, managing and operating secure cloud native workflows that can be used by organizations in the public sector vertical.
+Develop informational resources including guides, tutorials, and white papers to give the community an understanding of best practices, trade-offs, and value-adds.
+- Identify useful CNCF projects and contexts.
+- Share information about gaps and opportunities for improvement with the CNCF ecosystem.
+
+## Areas considered in Scope
+
+The CNCF Public Sector User Group focuses on the following topics of the lifecycle of cloud-native applications:
+
+- Isolated Environment Cloud Native Computing
+- Far Edge Cloud Native Computing
+
+The group will work on developing best practices, fostering collaboration between related projects, working on improving tool interoperability, as well as proposing new initiatives and projects when blank spots in the current landscape are identified.
+
+For CNCF projects, the scope of the Public Sector User Group engages, amongst others, with the application management focused ones, for example:
+
+- Guidance on meeting different government compliance requirements (US Specific examples include [FIPS 140-2](https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/fips/140/2/final) and [FedRamp](https://www.fedramp.gov/)
+
+## Areas considered out of Scope
+
+Anything not explicitly considered in the scope above. Example include:
+
+- Discussion of information that is restricted such as export controlled. Separate non-CNCF sessions can be organized by User Group members that meet participate's government requirements.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+- Track CNCF Project adoption of [White House Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/05/12/executive-order-on-improving-the-nations-cybersecurity/) guidance.
+
+## Governance
+
+### Cross-group relationships
+
+Lifecycle management of applications is a broad and mainstream topic of Cloud Native computing; therefore this TAG may collaborate with other CNCF UGs, TAGs, and projects.
