+# SIG Scheduling Charter
+
+This charter adheres to the conventions described in the [Kubernetes Charter README] and uses
+the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance].
+
+## Scope
+
+SIG Scheduling is responsible for the components that make Pod placement decisions.
+We build Kubernetes schedulers and scheduling features for Pods. We design and
+implement features that allows users to customize placement of Pods on the nodes
+of a cluster. These features include those that improve reliability of workloads,
+more efficient use of cluster resources, and/or enforces placement policies. 
+
+### In scope
+
+SIG [readme]
+
+#### Code, Binaries and Services
+
+- Scheduling related features (e.g. Node Affinity)
+- Kube-scheduler performance and scalability (with [sig-scalability](../sig-scalability))
+- Kube-scheduler reliability (problem detection and remediation)
+- Pod scheduling APIs (with [sig-api-machinery](../sig-api-machinery))
+- Node resource management (with [sig-node](../sig-node))
+- Cluster resource management (with [sig-node](../sig-node))
+- Pod scheduling policies (with [sig-auth](../sig-auth))
+
+**This is NOT** a list of specific code locations,
+  or projects. For those refer to [SIG Subprojects][sig-subprojects].
+
+#### Cross-cutting and Externally Facing Processes
+
+- Kube-scheduler [test grid] and [perf dashboard]
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- network management ([sig-network](../sig-network))
+- persistent storage management ([sig-storage](../sig-storage))
+- enforcement of resource quota and other admission policies ([sig-api-machinery](../sig-api-machinery))
+
+## Roles and Organization Management
+
+This sig adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance]
+and opts-in to updates and modifications to [sig-governance].
+
+### Additional responsibilities of Chairs
+
+- Technical leads seeded by legacy SIG chairs from existing subproject owners
+
+### Additional responsibilities of Tech Leads
+
+None
+
+### Deviations from [sig-governance]
+
+None
+
+### Subproject Creation
