 ## Committers
 
 Committers are contributors who also have the responsibility, privilege, some might even say burden of being able to review and merge contributions (just usually not their own).

-- Steven @styfle
+A note on "decision making authority". This is related to submitting PRs and the [advice process](http://www.reinventingorganizationswiki.com/Decision_Making). The person marked as having decision making authority over a certain area should be sought for advice in that area before committing to a course of action.

 ## Admins
 
 Admins are committers who also have the responsibility, privilege, and burden of selecting committers and making sure the project itself runs smoothly, which includes community maintenance, governance, dispute resolution, and so on. (Letting the contributors easily enter into, and work within, the project to begin contributing, with as little friction as possible.)
 
+To be listed: Admins are usually selected from the pool of committers who demonstrate good understanding of the marked culture, operations, and do their best to help new contributors get up to speed on how to contribute effectively to the project.

 ## Publishers
 
-Publishers are admins who also have the responsibility, privilege, and burden of publishing the new releases to NPMJS and performing outreach and external stakeholder communications. Further, when things goes pear-shaped, they're the ones taking most of the heat. Finally, when things go well, they're the primary ones praising the contributors who made it possible.

-(In other words, while admins are focused primarily on the internal workings of the project, Publishers are focused on internal *and* external concerns.)
