-# Welcome to WEATS - the WattCarbon Energy Attribute Tracking System
+# Welcome to the OpenEAC Alliance Methodology Repository
 
-This is the homepage for the current versions of the methodologies that allow WattCarbon to create EACs for clean energy resources. Each methodology category is contained in a separate folder. Individual methodologies are added by Pull Request ([step-by-step guide](https://github.com/wattcarbon/WEATS/blob/main/how-to-submit.md)). After the maintainers see the new Pull Request, it will be added to the queue below. Upon approval by the OpenEAC Alliance, these methodologies are merged into this repository and published here.

+## Definitions
 
-For meeting updates and up-to-date communication, see our [substack](https://www.openeac.org/).
+TODO: This section will be updated with agreed upon terms and definitions that can be used across different methodologies.
+
+## Development Roadmap
+
+The development of methodologies will happen in several phases, to enable both fast initial progress and capitalisation on the learnings in a consolidation phase. 
+
+- Phase 1 (Self-contained methodologies): Each methodology contains all of the components that are needed to define its use. Approvals are made on self-contained documents which then become immutable after signature.
+
+- Phase 2 (Modularized methodologies): Common components (such as valid carbon sources, resampling techniques, etc) are extracted and approved of separately and then referenced by individual methodologies.
+
+## Methodologies
+
+### Published Methodologies
+
+| Category           | Methodology                                      | Author      | Approval Date | URL |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------- | ------------  | ------------  |
+| (Pending)  |  |  |  |  |
+
+### Submission
+Individual methodologies are added by Pull Request ([step-by-step guide](https://github.com/wattcarbon/open-eac-alliance/blob/main/how-to-submit.md)). The methodology file should be added to the repo under the following naming structure: `methodologies/{category}/{methodology_title_snake_case}.md`.
+
+### Approval Process
+
+The approval process proceeds in several steps:
+
+1. A Pull Request is submitted to the WEATS repository with a new methodology. The methodology MUST contain at least 2 authors.
+2. The Pull Request is reviewed by the maintainers and added to the queue for presentation at an OpenEAC Alliance meeting.
+3. The authors present the methodology to the OpenEAC Alliance.
+4. The authors update the methodology based on feedback.
+5. At least 3 reviewers must approve the methodology Pull Request.
+6. A static PDF copy of the methodology is created and sent to the reviewers for official electronic signature.
+7. This signed PDF is uploaded to the repository (under [approved_documents/methodologies](https://github.com/wattcarbon/open-eac-alliance/blob/main/approved_documents/methodologies) ) and the Pull Request is merged.
+
+### Methodology Queue
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> See the current [Pull Requests](https://github.com/wattcarbon/open-eac-alliance/pulls) for the latest list of proposed methodologies.
