+# Social Media Working Group
+
+## Scope of responsibilities
+
+This working group will manage Django's official social media profiles on behalf of the Django Software Foundation.
+
+The goals of the group are:
+- Promote the use of Django among the World Wide Web development community.
+- Protect the framework's long-term viability through campaigns and sponsor relations.
+- Ensure the DSF’s Code of Conduct is maintained on its media channels.
+- Assist the board in posting official news and updates from the DSF.
+
+The group opts to manage platforms that best achieve these goals.
+This may be a subset of those for which Django has accounts.
+
+Delegated responsibilities:
+- The Chair, Co-Chair and Board Liaison can grant access to Django's official social media profiles to other group 
+  members as needed.
+- Members can post content to Django's official social media profiles, in alignment with the working group's agreed 
+  goals, without a board review.
+- Members can perform actions such as “like”, “repost” or “comment” as Django, when it aligns with the working group's 
+  agreed goals, without a board review.
+- Members can perform maintenance and monitor the automations which post DSF news and updates to social media channels.
+- Members can enforce the Code of Conduct. This may include moderating comments that do not meet our CoC or blocking 
+  users that grossly or repeatedly violate the CoC.
+
+Actions to take back to the DSF Board for votes:
+- Amendments to the working group's goals.
+- Approval on content that is outside the agreed group's goals.
+- Proposals of social media campaigns for our sponsors.
+- Proposal to have a new social media profile on a platform.
+- Proposal to retire a social media profile from a platform.
+
+## Initial membership
+
+- Chair: Benjamin Balder Bach
+- Co-Chair: Bhuvnesh Sharma 
+- Board Liaison (must be an active Board member; may be the same as Chair/Co-Chair): Thibaud Colas
+- Other members:
+  - Cory Zue
+  - Jason Judkins
+  - Sarah Boyce
+
+## Future membership
+
+### Who is eligible to join? Any volunteer, or are there specific requirements?
+
+Members must have demonstrable experience with social media platforms, and be registered as a Django Software Foundation
+Individual Member.
+
+### How do people who want to join sign up / volunteer / express interest?
+
+A form will be made available in a public space (once created this will be linked to here also).
+
+This form will include questions confirming:
+- their DSF membership
+- why they want to join
+- what experience and skills they bring to the role
+- links to their social media profiles
+
+### How will decisions on adding/removing members be handled?
+
+The working group will discuss and vote (50%+1) to approve new members.
+
+Members join the group for a 6-month term. At the end of this term, they need to opt into staying involved to keep being 
+a member of the group.
+
+If any member wishes to leave the group before the end of their term, they can do so without a vote.
+
+Members can propose a vote on removing a member from the working group. This needs 50%+1 agreement.
+
+## Budget
+
+The working group will have no allocated budget.
+
+## Comms within the group
+
+- Fortnightly synchronous meeting
+- Collaborative documents when creating a content plan and/our campaign
+- Private channel in the DSF slack
+
+## Reporting
+
+We'll email a written report to the board every quarter.
