+---
+
+Welcome to the {{ site.data.var.ee }} Beta Program and thank you for your interest in participating.
+This program is available to all our partners.
+To sign up for the Beta program, you must be a current [Solution Partner][] or Technology Partner with Adobe.
+Read and follow the steps outlined below to participate in the program.
+
+## Why participate
+
+1. The earlier you see the code we are developing the sooner you can prepare your technology and merchants for the upcoming upgrade.
+   Yes, things may change, but you will get an understanding where in the codebase changes are happening and start your preparations sooner than the General Availability release date.
+1. Provide valuable feedback to Adobe developers and help us find and correct issues sooner.
+
+Ready to participate? Follow the steps below.
+
+## Sign the Beta Program Agreement
+
+First, we need your company to sign our [Beta Program Agreement][].
+To verify the authenticity of the signature, we ask you to have the Adobe relationship owner, typically the owner of the _primary_ MageID associated with your company, read and sign the document linked above.
+​
+Further instructions while filling out the form:
+
+-  Make sure to use the email associated with the primary MageID.
+-  For _Adobe Contact Email_, use `magebeta@adobe.com` - _We may not receive your request if you do not use this email!_.
+
+## Developer access to GitHub
+
+Second, to provide feedback and receive important updates about the Beta, we must grant users access to our private GitHub repository.
+
+If you are already in the Adobe Partner Program, we will give the GitHub users access to our private repository after the Beta Program Agreement is signed.
+No need to do anything else.
+​
+If you are not already in the Adobe Partner Program, you must do the following:
+
+1. Make sure all of your contributors have an active GitHub account with two-factor authentication enabled.
+1. Provide a maintainer GitHub username. We will provide that user the ability to add additional users associated with the parent company who signed the Beta Program Agreement (`github.com/accountname`).
+1. Contact <magebeta@adobe.com> from the official partner’s company email with the maintainer and ask to join.
+
+## Get the Code
+
+Third, the pre-production code will be released as a Composer metapackage on <https://repo.magento.com>.
+See our [release schedule][] for the latest information about our upcoming Beta release.
+​
+### Instructions to successfully download the Beta code
+
+-  Use the MageID associated with the {{ site.data.var.ee }} license or Partner license (same MageID used to sign the Beta Program Agreement).
+   For more information on how to install with Composer, refer to [Quick start install][].
+   For troubleshooting access to Beta code, see [Cannot access the latest Beta version][].
+-  Lastly, we ask you to provide your feedback and comments through the private Beta Github repository after installing and using the code.
+
+For more information about this program, refer to our [FAQ][].
+For additional questions, email us at <magebeta@adobe.com>.
