## Introduction

The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) community set out the following
decision-making rules with the intention to:
In October 2019, the BIDS community [voted](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/355)
to ratify a governance structure and to elect five members as a *Steering Group*
to oversee the development and adoption of the standard.

The document outlining our governance structure is hosted on the BIDS website:
