MIKE2:Contribution Model

From MIKE2 Methodology

The Data Governance and Management Consortium helps provide the long-term version for the MIKE2.0 Methodology, reviews release assets and acts as the owners of the content. To meet this goal requires roles and responsibilities at multiple levels to drive content creation, resolve disputes and coordinate activities across individuals.

The Contribution Model defines roles and responsibilities for adding content to the methodology. The Contribution Model also provides a governance framework for changing existing MIKE2.0 assets to improve quality and stability.

Key features of this approach are as follows:

• The Steering Committee and Leadership Team provide overall project direction
• Changes to the Core MIKE2.0 Methodology and controlled as this content is protected.
• Membership has balanced representation but is a select group
• Membership to the group is based on a meritocracy model, similar to the principles followed by the ASF

This model, which is expected to evolve over time, has 6 categories of active participants. Their responsibilities are as follows.
