Some proposed updates to the PR I'm thinking of adding to your PR @ewferg this week:

• Add a table to represent the various role tiers mentioned
• Make membership of TSC, PSC as roles and add a product manager role for final decisions for all topics if needed
• Add suggested costs / time for enacting this governance policy (if possible)
• Description of governance model and why to use it (not in the GOVERNANCE.md but rather in a separate SLIM write-up linking to the governance model file)

Hopefully we can get this wrapped up and merged into main by next week!

This is great. Something I thought about that might be good to address. Do we want to include a section that would describe the governance of perhaps maintaining a "Community" branch which does not necessarily have the same rigor of evaluation before PRs are accepted. Almost like a nightly-build vs a stable release.

@ewferg - my sincere apologies - I added some additions to your branch but inadvertently nuked your ewferg:main with a forced pushed of NASA-AMMOS:main when I meant to push a different local branch (the one that had my customizations to your fork of SLIM on the main branch). Looks like GitHub won't let me push branches with different names to external forks. Nothing is lost though, including your commits. I've created a fresh pull request with your original commits and my additions here: https://github.com/NASA-AMMOS/slim/pull/94

Reminder to myself and others, when pushing to a forked repository based on a pull-request, for which you don't have admin perms - keep it simple and make a fresh clone of the fork and make your edits using the default branch.
