 ## Goals
 
-Topics include, but are not limited to:
-
-* Kubelet related features (e.g. Pod lifecycle)
-* Node level performance and scalability (with [sig-scalability](../sig-scalability))
-* Node reliability
-* Node lifecycle management (with [sig-cluster-lifecycle](../sig-cluster-lifecycle))
-* Container runtimes: docker, [rkt](../sig-rktnetes), etc.
-* Images, package management
-* Resource management (with [sig-scheduling](../sig-scheduling))
-* Issues related to monitoring (with [sig-instrumentation](../sig-instrumentation))
-* Node level security and Pod isolation (with [sig-auth](../sig-auth))
-* Kernel interactions (to a limited extent)
-* ...
+The following topics fall under scope of this SIG.
+
+- Kubelet and its features
+- Pod API and Pod behaviors (with [sig-architecture](../sig-architecture))
+- Node API (with [sig-architecture](../sig-architecture))
+- Node controller
+- Node level performance and scalability (with [sig-scalability](../sig-scalability))
+- Node reliability (problem detection and remediation)
+- Node lifecycle management (with [sig-cluster-lifecycle](../sig-cluster-lifecycle))
+- Container runtimes
+- Device management
+- Image management
+- Node-level resource management (with [sig-scheduling](../sig-scheduling))
+- Hardware discovery
+- Issues related to node, pod, container monitoring (with [sig-instrumentation](../sig-instrumentation))
+- Node level security and Pod isolation (with [sig-auth](../sig-auth))
+- Host OS and/or kernel interactions (to a limited extent)
 
 We also work closely with [sig-storage](../sig-storage) and [sig-network](../sig-network). As you can see, this is a very cross-functional team!

+# SIG Node 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 Node is responsible for the components that support the controlled
+interactions between pods and host resources.  We manage the lifecycle of pods
+that are scheduled to a node.  We focus on enabling a broad set of workload
+types, including workloads with hardware specific or performance sensitive requirements.  We maintain
+isolation boundaries between pods on a node, as well as the pod and the host.  We
+aim to continuously improve node reliability.
