 Each Project has a development team, led by the Project Leaders. The development team is composed of Committers and Contributors. Contributors are individuals who contribute code, fixes, tests, documentation, or other work that is part of the Project. Committers have write access to the Project's resources (source code repository, bug tracking system, website, build server, downloads, etc.) and are expected to influence the Project's development.

+=== 4.11 Project Security Team
+
+The Project Security Team is responsible for implementing the {securityPolicyUrl}[Eclipse Foundation Security Policy]. Projects must engage in timely resolution of security issues as described in the Policy. By default, all Committers belong to the Project Security Team.
+
+Any Committer or anyone in the Project Leadership Chain may propose a creation of a separate Project Security Team to the PMC. If the PMC approves the proposal, all Committers vote on the proposal. The creation of a separate Project Security Team requires consensus with no objections (only +1 or abstentions, no -1 votes). The same rule applies to the retirement of a separate Project Security Team.
+
+Members of the Project Security team are voted in by all Committers using the same rules as for election of Committers with exceptions specified in this section.
+
+The Project Security Team must consist of at least two persons; at least one of them must be a Committer on the Project. The Project is free to elect non-Committers to the Project Security Team, when they have related security experience. Project Security Team members are required to sign the appropriate Committer legal agreements established by the EMO.
+
+The members of Project Security Team must keep strict confidentiality of issues before they are resolved and released publicly. For resolution of a particular issue, they might bring in additional Committers or Contributors, or additional domain experts. Those contributors must adhere to the same confidentiality guidelines.
