+# WG etcd operator
+
+This charter adheres to the conventions described in the [Kubernetes Charter README]
+and uses the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance].
+
+[sig-governance]: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/committee-steering/governance/sig-governance.md
+[Kubernetes Charter README]: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/committee-steering/governance/README.md
+
+## Scope
+
+The purpose of an etcd-operator is to operate automatically etcd clusters which run in the Kubernetes environment.
+It minimizes human intervention as much as possible. Note it excludes the case of etcd backing Kubernetes cluster;
+instead, etcd runs as POD as normal workloads.
+
+### In Scope
+
+- Collect requirements & use cases with a [survey](https://forms.gle/5gBpzaxYtuQPWdBo9) to better understand what users care about the most.
+- Prioritize the tasks based on feedback and create a roadmap.
+- Bootstrap a project "etcd-operator" owned by SIG etcd which resides in the etcd-io or kubernetes-sigs Github orgs.
+  - Review existing etcd operators to see if any could be forked or referenced to advance the project.
+- Discuss and design the core reconciliation workflow, and potentially provide a proof of concept (PoC).
+- Figure out how to get resource for following dev/test, i.e. AWS S3.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- Manage etcd clusters running within non-Kubernetes environments.
+- Manage etcd clusters which are used as the storage backend of a host (non-nested) kube-apiserver.
+
+## Stakeholders
+
+Stakeholders for this working group include members in the following SIGs:
+
+- SIG etcd
+- SIG Cluster Lifecycle
+
+## Deliverables
+
+The artifacts the group is supposed to deliver include:
+- Survey results which describe the users requirements and use cases.
+- Evaluation results on existing etcd-operators.
+- Roadmap for the project etcd-operator.
+- Core reconciliation workflow and PoC.
+- A new repository "etcd-operator" owned by SIG etcd, and it should have implemented the very basic functionalities below:
+  - Creation of a new etcd cluster with one or multiple members.
+  - Scale out and in the etcd cluster.
+  - Upgrading patch versions or one minor version.
+
+## Roles and Organization Management
+
+This working group adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in
+[sig-governance] and opts-in to updates and modifications to [sig-governance].
+
+[sig-governance]: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/committee-steering/governance/sig-governance.md
+
+## Timelines and Disbanding
+
+When all the deliverables mentioned above are done and there is no additional coordination needed,
+then we will disband this working group and continue to track the development of the project
+under SIG etcd.
