+## Blog post publishing guidelines
+
+The following guidelines apply to all blog posts except minor or patch release announcements:
+
+1. each blog post _must_ have a target publishing date and time. If scheduled publishing is not possible, _the author_ (if privileged enough) or another delegated member would be responsible for landing.
+2. each blog post _must_ be approved by @nodejs/tsc members _and_ OpenJS Foundation marketing staff.
+
+For minor/patch release announcements, the members of `@nodejs/releasers` can land as they see fit.
