+# OCI go-digest project proposal
+
+## Abstract
+[image-spec#486][image-spec-486] introduces a dependency on a stable upstream implementation of https://github.com/docker/go-digest, which was recently broken out of the https://github.com/docker/distribution project.
+
+This package has been instrumental in providing a strong hash-identity implementation in Go and we will extend this to OCI. This will be supported by moving https://github.com/opencontainers/go-digest to OCI. While this package does support opencontainers/image-spec, it is broadly useful in other image formats or outside image formats.
+
+Having a solid, battle-proven, common digest implementation in OCI for use in and outside the image-spec will ensure long lasting security and interoperability throughout the container ecosystem.
+
+## Proposal
+With repositories under the https://github.com/opencontainers organization:
+
+Rename (transfer) https://github.com/docker/go-digest would become https://github.com/opencontainers/go-digest.
+
+### Initial Maintainers
+Initial maintainers of the go-digest project would be seeded from the image-spec project:
+* Brandon Philips <brandon.philips@coreos.com> (@philips)
+* Brendan Burns <bburns@microsoft.com> (@brendandburns)
+* Jason Bouzane <jbouzane@google.com> (@jbouzane)
+* John Starks <jostarks@microsoft.com> (@jstarks)
+* Jonathan Boulle <jon.boulle@coreos.com> (@jonboulle)
+* Stephen Day <stephen.day@docker.com> (@stevvooe)
+* Vincent Batts <vbatts@redhat.com> (@vbatts)
+
+### Code of Conduct
+This project would incorporate (by reference) the OCI Code of Conduct.
+
+### Governance and Releases
+This project would incorporate the Governance and Releases processes from the OCI project template: https://github.com/opencontainers/project-template.
+
+### Project Communications
+Both of the proposed projects would continue to use existing channels in use by the OCI developer community for communication including:
+* GitHub for issues and pull requests
+* The dev@opencontainers.org email list
+* The weekly OCI developer community conference call
+* The #OpenContainers IRC channel
+
+### Versioning / Roadmap
+We will probably minimize the releases of this project.
+
+It will provide digesting functionality for all present and future versions of the specification.
+
+## Frequenty Asked Questions (FAQ)
+Q: Does this change the OCI Charter or Scope Table?
+A: No.  Nothing in this proposal is intended to amend the OCI Charter (https://www.opencontainers.org/about/governance) or OCI Scope Table (https://www.opencontainers.org/about/oci-scope-table).
