+Becoming an RISC-V Ecosystem Labs Partner
+==========================================
+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Overview
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+A broad and robust software ecosystem is key to the success of RISC-V.
+The RISC-V Ecosystem Labs program
+brings together member companies from across the ecosystem to give developers the
+resources they need to build and test their software, from porting of existing
+projects to development of new components that will power the next wave of computing
+innovation.
+
+RISC-V Ecosystem Lab Partners provide one or more of the following:
+
+- Continuous Integration (CI) testing of open source software projects
+- CI testing resources for use by open source communities to use on their projects
+- “Sandbox” instances of RISC-V physical and virtual hardware for open source communities and projects
+
+For more information about the RISC-V Ecosystem Labs program, please see the
+`RISC-V Ecosystem Labs page <https://riscv.org/risc-v-labs/>`_ on the RISC-V website.
+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Membership
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The RISC-V Ecosystem Lab Partner Program requires membership in RISC-V.
+Information about membership and the various levels can be found on the
+`RISC-V Membership page <https://riscv.org/membership/>`_.  See the webpage
+for contact information for any additional questions.
+
+Additional information about joining RISC-V and getting on-board as a 
+contributing member, can be found in the 
+`RISC-V Getting Started Guide <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qjf6BwMmtqTfzftr3WWf2bRv8Cl4f0qZrWWbr0jCBSU/>`_.
+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Community
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The Development Partners program is located in the RISC-V Portal community
+`Lab Partners <https://lists.riscv.org/g/lab-partners>`_.  Individuals
+may join this community by selecting "Join" at the bottom of the page.
+
+Community mailing list archives can be found on the community 
+`"Messages" tab <https://lists.riscv.org/g/lab-partners/topics>`_.  To send
+an email to the community, simply email 
+`[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>`_.
+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Meetings
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The Lab Partner community meets every 2 weeks.  Agendas are published to the mailing list 
+a day or two in advance of the meetings.  Meeting minutes are collected in the
+`Labs Group Minutes <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HybKCHVE3KahfEiORgNRcmzVCqqFYVYVOLxjsKMz8gI/>`_
+document in Google Drive.  All RISC-V members have comment access to the document.  Post a comment
+against the document to request Edit access.
+
+The meetings serve as a time for certified Ecosystem Lab members and newer members to exchange status,
+work toward additional member certification, share status of existing labs, and collaborate to solve
+common problems.
+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Becoming and Ecosystem Lab Partner
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+To become a certified RISC-V Ecosystem Partner, members must meet the criteria defined in the
+`RISC-V Labs Policy <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wGpXaGeM1soTCi5rSYpaL8IwdlTHwSZiGc_5oSiJtxk/edit?usp=sharing>`_.
+The RISC-V Staff and members of the Ecosystem Labs Partners will assist in helping you make decisions
+and work through the requirements.
+
+By completing the work, certified RISC-V Ecosystem Partnes earn the right to display the 
+RISC-V Ecosystem Lab Partner badge on their website.
