+# SIG UI Charter
+
+This charter adheres to the conventions described in the [Kubernetes Charter README] and uses the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance].
+
+## Scope
+
+SIG-UI covers GUI-related aspects of the Kubernetes project. Efforts are centered around the Kubernetes Dashboard: a general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to manage applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them, as well as manage the cluster itself.
+
+#### Code, Binaries and Services
+
+- [Kubernetes Dashboard](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard)
+- [Dashboard Cluster Addon](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons/dashboard)
+
+#### Cross-cutting and Externally Facing Processes
+
+- Cutting a new release of the Dashboard
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+Tools that contributors use in support of the project (eg. Prow, Test Grid)
+
+## Roles and Organization Management
+
+This sig follows adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in [sig-governance] and opts-in to updates and modifications to [sig-governance].
+
+### Deviations from [sig-governance]
+
+SIG UI governance is structured according to the [ROLES.md] document within the [Kubernetes/Dashboard] repo
+
+### Subproject Creation
+
+SIG UI delegates subproject approval to Technical Leads. See [Subproject creation - Option 1].
