 The **SunPy Project** is the organization which maintains the SunPy library and sponsored affiliated packages.
 Its primary goal is to *facilitate and promote the use and development of a community-led, free and open-source solar data-analysis software based on the scientific Python environment*.
 
-The organization is described in `SEP-2`_, and consists of the Project Custodians, a Steering Committee appointed by the Project Custodians, an advisory board, with community roles supported by developers who contribute to any package under the organization.
+The organization is described in `SEP-2`_, and consists of a group of trusted community members the "Project Custodians", a three person "Steering Committee" who manage the project day-to-day, and an Advisory Board who provide oversight and guidance.
 
 **Everyone is encouraged to participate in the SunPy Project.**
 
-The goal of the Steering Committee is to lead the overall structure and direction of the SunPy Project while the lead developer works with the developer community to implement it.
-The Advisory Board publicly posts the `minutes`_ from each of their meetings.
