--  Please see [here](New Project) for how to on-board new candidates to OSDU and to work with the PMC and OMC to formalize the candidate as a top-level OSDU platform project.
+### The PMC [**New Project**](New Project) Process - Procedure for submitting new projects for OSDU platform
+
+OSDU platform is designed in a manner that clearly identifies the system core services as the hub that ties together the various other top-level projects as satellites to this hub. The hub provides services around schema, identity, storage, notifications, DDMS registry to ensure that all associated projects have the core services necessary to integrate and expand from. OSDU R2 defined the first cut version of these and the system itself will be evolving in a calculated manner to support the addition of the satellites.
+
+The satellites are projects that either extend the system capabilities by providing support for services for ingestion, enrichment, delivery including search/discovery, helper services for frame-of-reference handling including units, coordinate systems, elevation references, etc. or by extending the system and providing domain specific extensions to OSDU to optimize the storage, access and delivery of meta and array data for different domains such as wellbore, seismic, reservoir, well planning, production etc.
+
+The following picture illustrates the projects and the relationship to the OSDU System.

+
+For R3 schedule, the following are the current set of projects proposed by the PMC.
+
+Projects are grouped based on whether they are related to the core or domain.
+
+**Core Projects**
+
+Core projects are domain agnostic, cross-cutting services that defines the OSDU data platform. These are implementations of common principles around identity, discovery, data flow, security that should be followed by all domain services within OSDU.
+1. System
+- OSDU Libs & core Services  (schema, search, storage, ...)
+- Data change Notifications 
+- Schema service 
+- DDMS enablement services - Registry and lookup 
+
+2. Search
+- Text and Attribute indexing service
+- Search service
+- Spatial index service*
+
+3. Helper Services
+- Units catalog and conversion service 
+- Coordinate catalogs and Coordinate conversion services
+- Elevation reference*
+- Reference catalog and mapping services* 
+
+4. Security and Compliance
+- Identity Integration*
+- Access control service 
+
+5. Ingestion & Enrichment 
+- Ingestion Pipeline with pluggable modules
+- Validation modules  
+- Agent framework for job management
+- Enrichment Pipeline with pluggable modules
+
+6. Deployment and Operations
+- Global deployment, multi-region support 
+- Operations focused services - logging, metering, audit trails 
+- Disaster recovery and business continuity 
+- Multi-OSDU federation
+
+**Domain Projects**
+
+Domain projects are related to services, data models and technology capabilities related to specific domains. 
+
+Domain Data Management Services:
+
+7. Wellbore domain 
+
+8. Seismic domain 
+
+9. Reservoir domain*
+
+10. Well Delivery*
+
+11. Real-time and streaming services*
+
+Modules for Ingestion and Enrichment
+
+12. Parsers and agents for standard formats (LAS, Energistics, ...) and repositories (PPDM, ...)
+
+13. Data connectors for external data sources
