+## Introduction
+
+The process for reviewing documentation PRs is slightly different from
+[the general process for reviewing code PRs](https://github.com/kata-containers/community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#reviewsPR-Review-Guide.md).
+This document explains the differences.
+
+## The Documentation Team
+
+The Documentation Team is responsible for carrying out a full documentation
+review of a PRs containing documentation changes. Such a review includes
+checking the grammar, structure, consistency, and typographical correctness of
+the documentation changes.
+
+The following GitHub team lists the users who are members of the Documentation Team:
+
+- https://github.com/orgs/kata-containers/teams/documentation/members
+
+## Default document review process
+
+[Project maintainers](https://github.com/kata-containers/community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#project-maintainers)
+have the power to approve or reject PRs using the pullapprove tool employed by
+all repositories.
+
+If a Documentation Team review is required, the pullapprove configuration will
+apply and the PR will be blocked until the required number of acks are
+obtained for the documentation changes.
+
+Technical writers from the Documentation Team will review the document
+changes and add comments explaining how the wording should be changed. It is
+then up to the PR creator to apply these changes to their original PR,
+rebasing as necessary to ensure a clean `git(1)` history. Once the creator has
+applied the changes they need to re-push their branch and add a comment to the
+PR asking for a re-review. This process continues indefinitely until the the
+Documentation Team is happy with the final result.
+
+## Justification for different process
+
+The documentation review process is different than the code review process for
+the following reasons:
+
+### Users should always expect accurate Documentation
+
+Just like code changes, some documentation changes have to be merged as soon
+as possible to ensure users have current and accurate information.
+
+Documentation changes tend to be more urgent though. For example, a "Priority
+1" code issue needs to be fixed quickly. However it would also need to be
+documented clearly (and quickly). If the P1 issue *cannot* be fixed quickly,
+the documentation must still be updated as soon as possible to alert users of
+the issue and to provide suitable workarounds.
+
+If the documentation is *not* kept current, users have incorrect information
+and might create problems for themselves or become disaffected with the
+project entirely.
+
+In summary, do not let documentation PRs sit in the PR backlog for any longer
+than necessary.
+
+### Some documentation PRs can be fast-tracked
+
+If a PR makes a minor change to one or more documents, passing to the
+Documentation Team for a formal review and approval might not be necessary.
+
+### Formal doc reviews can be very time-intensive
+
+Since a full document review can be a slow and pain-staking process, and since
+the number of professional technical writers on the Documentation Team is
+relatively small compared to the number of developers, it makes sense to only
+perform such reviews on the documents that justify the effort.
+
+## Decision Authority
+
+If a Documentation Team member believes a full review is required, their
+decision is final.
+
+In most other cases, a project maintainer will decide whether a full review is
+required or not.
+
+If project maintainers cannot decide whether the lightweight process should be
+followed, the full process should be used instead since the uncertainty
+implies "more eyes" should see the changes.
+
+## Determine if a full document review is required
+
+### Exempt
+
+If a PR contains documentation changes that **only** relate to one or more of
+the following categories, it does not need to be formally reviewed and
+approved by the Documentation Team:
+
+- Changes to code blocks
+
+   The PR only modifies code blocks embedded in the document.
+
+- "Typo" fixes
+
+  The PR only fixes spelling mistakes and whitespace issues.
+
+- Formatting
+
+  The PR only modifies the layout of the existing text. For example, you
+  update words to render them in a ``fixed font`` or change a
+  [Note](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master/Documentation-Requirements.md#notes)
+  to fit the standard formatting conventions.
+
+- URL fixes
+
+   The PR only modifies URLs or updates the table of contents.
+
+- The PR only *removes* documentation.
+
+### Required
+
+The following PR changes generally indicate a full document review is
+necessary:
+
+- A new document has been added by the PR.
+
+  All documents should have an initial review unless they are extremely simple.
+
+## Requesting a formal document review
+
+If a PR needs a full document review, add a comment to the PR like the
+following, which sends a mail to all members of the Documentation Team:
+
+```
+PTAL @kata-containers/documentation
+```
+
+## Lightweight document review process
+
+1. Obtain general agreement that
+   a Document Team review [is not required](#decision-authority).
+
+1. Ensure all other approvals and CI checks have been met.
+
+1. Ensure the PR contains a note explaining why the PR does not justify a full review.
+
+1. Request a project maintainer force-merges the PR.
+
+   This operation bypasses the pullapprove check that normally stops a PR from
+   landing until the Documentation Team ack the PR.
+
+1. The maintainer should notify the Documentation Team out of courtesy that
+   the PR has been merged.
+
+   This allows a follow-on "recovery PR" to be raised should the Documentation
+   Team disagree on using the lightweight process.
