It will be used to gather feedback on major changes+that may affect those implementations.++This document is a checklist of things to add a new person to the+[@nodejs/node-api-implementer][] team.++While adding new Node-API implementer to the team is encouraged+and welcomed, the following are a set of principles of the team:++1. The person must be a maintainer of a Node-API runtime implementation.+1. The Node-API runtime implementation must be added to the+   [Node-API bindings for other runtimes][] document.+1. The Node-API runtime should be publicly available.+1. The Node-API runtime should be actively maintained in 6 months.++To request joining the team, a person should open a PR at+https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/pulls to add their Node-API+runtime implementation to the [Node-API bindings for other runtimes][] document.++Onboarding a new person to the team doesn't suggest their work is sponsored+by the [Node-API team][]. The Node-API team is not responsible for maintaining+the runtime implementation.++## Offboarding++In order to keep the team effective, the [@nodejs/node-api-implementer][] team+maintainers are responsible to regularly review the team members.++This following is a checklist of things whether a person should be+offboard from the [@nodejs/node-api-implementer][] team. The criteria+should be determined by the discretion of the+[@nodejs/node-api-implementer][] team maintainers.++1. The person is no longer a maintainer of a Node-API runtime implementation.+1. The Node-API runtime implementation is not actively maintained in 6 months.++Offboarding a person from the team doesn't suggest their work is disregarded+by the Node-API team. If circumstances change, the person can be onboarded+again.++[Node-API team]: https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/teams/node-api+[@nodejs/node-api-implementer]: https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/teams/node-api-implementer+[Node-API bindings for other runtimes]: ./node-api-engine-bindings.md#node-api-bindings-for-other-runtimes
