+## Governance
 
-## Reporting issues
+Unity Catalog UI is part of the Unity Catalog project, which is an independent open-source project and also a project of the [LF AI and Data Foundation](https://lfaidata.foundation/). The project under the Linux Foundation follows [open governance](https://github.com/opengovernance/opengovernance.dev), meaning there is no one company or individual in control of the project.

+## Communication
 
-## Pull requests
+- Before starting work on a major feature, please reach out to us via [GitHub](https://github.com/unitycatalog/unitycatalog-ui/issues), [Slack](https://unitycatalog.slack.com/), etc. We will make sure no one else is already working on it and ask you to open a GitHub issue.
+- A "major feature" is defined as any change that is > 100 LOC altered (not including tests), or changes any user-facing behavior.
+- We will use the GitHub issue to discuss the feature and come to an agreement.
+- This is to prevent your time being wasted, as well as ours.
+- The GitHub review process for major features is also important so that organizations with commit access can come to an agreement on design.
+- If it is appropriate to write a design document, the document must be hosted either in the GitHub tracking issue, or linked to from the issue and hosted in a world-readable location.
+- Small patches and bug fixes don't need prior communication. If you have identified a bug and have ways to solve it, please create an [issue](https://github.com/unitycatalog/unitycatalog-ui/issues) or create a [pull request](https://github.com/unitycatalog/unitycatalog-ui/pulls).
+
+## Code of Conduct
