Governance
This section collects governance documentation related to PCA's review process and the broader governance context around stewardship, responsibility, and trust.
PCA governance provides the structure that allows digital content to be created, reviewed, maintained, and trusted over time.
Why governance matters¶
Without governance, digital content may still exist, but it becomes harder to:
- understand who is responsible
- review proposed changes fairly and consistently
- preserve quality
- maintain trust in published content
PCA governance is therefore not separate from the platform and the content ecosystem. It is one of the foundations that makes them sustainable.
What this section covers¶
This section explains:
- the overall governance role of PCA
- the content review process itself
- how responsibilities are distributed
- how decisions and outcomes are understood
- how maintenance supports long-term stewardship
The review process is especially important because it connects proposal workflows to publication and long-term stewardship.
This section includes:
- an exact markdown transcription of the review-process PDF
- adjacent governance pages that place that process in a broader context
Platform documentation should be read separately when you want to understand how the governance process is facilitated in the PCA platform through features, workflows, and reviewer-facing capabilities.
