+#### Review process
+
+To register an extension with a raw name, a community member needs to open a new 
+PR in the [zarr-extensions](https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr-extensions) 
+repository.
+
+Each extension MUST have a README.md file that describes the extension and its metadata specification. Extensions SHOULD have a schema.json file that contains the JSON schema for the metadata, if the README.md does not provide a link to an external schema. Please note that all extensions documents will be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. Only open a PR if you are willing to license your extension under this license.
+
+The PR will be reviewed by the Zarr steering council. We aim to be very open about registering extensions. The review will be done largely based on avoiding confusing extension names and preventing malicious activity as well as maintaining the formal requirements of the extensions. Extension maintainers are responsible for their extensions. Updates to the extensions will also be reviewed by the steering council.
