  75 The Governing Board consists of all Premier members, a representative
  76 for the General members, a representative for the Associate members,
  77 and a representative from the Ceph Leadership Team (the technical
  78 governance body). The board is responsible for:
  79
  80 * Building and approving an annual budget for spending in support of
  81   the Ceph project
  82 * Establishing ad-hoc committees to address current needs of the
  83   project
  84 * Coordinating outreach or marketing
  85 * Meeting regularly to discuss Foundation activities, the status of
  86   the Ceph project, and overall project strategy
  87 * Voting on any decisions or matters before the board
  88
  89 The Ceph Foundation board is not responsible for and does not have any
  90 direct control over the technical governance of Ceph. Development and
  91 engineering activities are managed through traditional open source
  92 processes and are overseen by the :ref:`csc`. For more
  93 information see :ref:`governance`.
