+# CNCF Special Interest Groups ("SIGs")
+
+The CNCF TOC Special Interest Groups scale contributions by the CNCF
+technical and user community, while retaining integrity and increasing quality
+in support of our [mission](https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/charter.md#1-mission-of-the-cloud-native-computing-foundation).
+
+TOC and TOC Contributors have fulfilled SIG duties in the past and will continue to do so until a specific SIG takes on that responsibility.
+
+## SIG Formation Process
+
+TOC will identify at least one voting member as TOC Liason for each [proposed SIG](proposed.md).  The SIG TOC Liason will work with TOC contributors identify prospective chairs and draft the initial charter (see [worked example](https://docs.google.com/document/d/18ufx6TjPavfZubwrpyMwz6KkU-YA_aHaHmBBQkplnr0/edit?usp=sharing), then submit
+a pull request with document referencing the roles and charter, updating the list of current SIGs below.
+
+## Current SIGS
+
+* none yet defined
+
+## History
+* November 2018 - January 2019: the SIG process was developed by the CNCF TOC
+and Contributors

-## Initial SIGS
-
-To bootstrap the process, the TOC proposes the following SIGs, and projects assigned to each SIG. Clearly all of these SIG’s will not be fully-formed overnight or begin operating immediately, so the TOC itself will fulfill the duties of not-yet-formed SIG’s until they are.  We can however, fairly immediately, assign one voting member of the TOC as liason for each SIG, and prioritize the order of formation of the SIGs, starting immediately with the most pressing ones.
