+# Organization Activity Policy
+
+Organization members are expected to do regular significant contributions to the project. 
+
+The organization doesn't define any fixed hours and expects the members to decide on their own committment. Long leave times of more than 3 weeks should be communicated in advance so other members can organize tasks according to this.
+
+Members must not spend more time than 40 hours per week on the organization as we believe output quality will drastically reduce over time.
+
+Extremely few or insignificant contributions may lead to the exclusion from the organization based on judgmental basis by a senior member. A member can expect to receive a warning in advance in order to provide the chance to increase the activity or provide reasons for the past activitis.
