The Tor network operates on principles of openness, inclusivity, and decentralization. As a global community-driven project, it is imperative to establish transparent and effective governance mechanisms to ensure the integrity, security, and reliability of the network.

This section provides insight into the processes, policies, and structures that govern the operation and use of Tor relays.

Effective governance of relays is crucial for upholding the trust of users and ensuring the continued robustness of the Tor network. By transparently documenting these processes, Tor aims to foster a community-driven approach to network security, enabling collaboration among developers, operators, and users.
