+<h1>Recognised PostgreSQL User Groups <i class="fas fa-gavel"></i></h1>
+
+<p><em>Last updated: November 19, 2020 {%git_changes_link%}</em></p>
+
+<p>
+  Recognised PostgreSQL User Groups, aka "PUGs", may
+  be listed on the <a href="/community/user-groups/">PostgreSQL Website</a> as
+  such. To become recognised as PostgreSQL User Group, the user group must
+  self-certify that they meet the criteria below, aimed at ensuring they meet
+  the standards of openness expected in the PostgreSQL Community.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Use of the terms "MAY", "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" in the
+  criteria below should be interpreted per
+  <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RFC2119</a>,
+  where:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>MUST and MUST NOT are requirements, and</li>
+  <li>MAY, SHOULD, and SHOULD NOT are optional, recommended guidelines.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>General</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    The PostgreSQL User Group MUST be primarily focused on PostgreSQL and
+    related technologies. PostgreSQL User Groups that target a broad range of
+    database products are not eligible as PostgreSQL User Groups.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    PostgreSQL User Groups are for the entire PostgreSQL community and are
+    public in nature. There MUST NOT be any requirement of a Non-Disclosure
+    Agreement (NDA) or similar contract for an attendee to attend the Meetup.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    The PostgreSQL User Group MUST adopt and follow an appropriate Code of
+    Conduct to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for anyone who wishes to
+    participate.
+    <ul>
+      <li>
+        The PostgreSQL User Group SHOULD adopt the
+        <a href="/about/policies/coc/">PostgreSQL Code of Conduct</a>.
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    The PostgreSQL User Group MUST have at least one event every two calendar
+    years in order to maintain its recognition as a PostgreSQL User Group.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    The <a href="/developer/core/">PostgreSQL Core Team</a> reserves the right
+    to recognise, not recognise, or rescind a previous recognition for any
+    PostgreSQL User Group without justification.
+  </li>
+  <li>These criteria MAY be reviewed and potentially updated at any time.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Organisers</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The PostgreSQL User Group Organizers MUST be individuals.</li>
+  <li>
+    The PostgreSQL User Group Organizers MUST be listed on the membership site
+    for the PostgreSQL User Group.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    The PostgreSQL User Group Organizers SHOULD NOT consist of 50% or more of
+    the same company or group of companies under the same ultimate ownership or
+    management.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Events</h3>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Anyone MAY submit a PostgreSQL-related talk proposal. The Organizers SHOULD
+    choose to accept or reject the talk proposal based on a simple majority
+    vote.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Anyone MAY offer to host a PostgreSQL User Group. The meeting space SHOULD
+    be in the region represented by the PostgreSQL User Group. The Organizers
+    SHOULD choose to accept or reject the space based on a simple majority vote.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    A Speaker MUST disclose in advance if the primary content of their talk
+    involves a closed-source product or a project that is not directly related
+    to PostgreSQL.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Organizations MAY promote their business at a PostgreSQL User Group event
+    if:
+    <ul>
+      <li>
+        Their business SHOULD help drive further adoption of PostgreSQL AND
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        Any content presented at the PostgreSQL User Group MUST be technical in
+        nature.
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Sponsorship</h3>
+
+<ul>

+    The PostgreSQL User Group group MUST disclose on its web page any
+    organizations that provide financial or in-kind sponsorship to the Community
+    User Group.

+    The PostgreSQL User Group SHOULD mention any Sponsors in the introductions
+    of the user group meeting.
