+# Instructions for Crate Transfer
+
+This document outlines the necessary steps to transfer a project to the rust-embedded-community
+project.
+
+Users that are interested in their transfer can retain original ownership and write-control to any
+projects that they wish to transfer as well.
+
+## Process
+
+The process for transferring ownership depends on whether or not the original crate owner would like
+to join the `rust-embedded-community` project.
+
+### Transfer Process (Joining the R-E-C)
+
+This process is used if the original crate owner would like to become a member of the
+`rust-embedded-community` project.
+
+1. Request to join the community by following the steps outlined [here](README.md#joining-the-community).
+1. Once you have been added, request to transfer the repository under the repository settings:
+    1. Navigate to transfer the repository under the repository settings.
+    `https://github.com/<YOUR-ORG>/<YOUR-REPO>/settings`: General > Danger Zone > "Transfer
+    ownership"
+    2. Select "Specify an organization or username" and supply `rust-embedded-community`
+    3. Confirm the transfer and select "I understand, transfer this repository"
+
+2. Add the rust-embedded-community project to the crates.io owners to allow the community
+   to issue updated releases for the crate:
+   ```sh
+   cargo owner --add github:rust-embedded-community:all
+   ```
+
+### Transfer Process (Without Joining)
+
+The following process can be used if the original crate owner does not wish to join the
+`rust-embedded-community`.
+
+1. Request to transfer the repository under the repository settings:
+    1. Navigate to transfer the repository under the repository settings.
+    `https://github.com/<YOUR-ORG>/<YOUR-REPO>/settings`: General > Danger Zone > "Transfer
+    ownership"
+    2. Select "Specify an organization or username" and supply the Github username of one of the
+       `rust-embedded-community` members that you have been previously in contact with about
+       transferring the repository.
+        * If you haven't been in contact with anyone yet, feel free to [open an issue](https://github.com/rust-embedded-community/meta/issues/new) and one of us will be
+        happy to assist.
+    3. Confirm the transfer and select "I understand, transfer this repository"
+    4. Add the contact person to the crates.io owners to allow them to allow the community
+     to issue updated releases for the crate:
+   ```sh
+   cargo owner --add <MEMBER-GITHUB-ID>
+   ```
+
+Once the repository is transferred to the organizational member, that member should follow the steps
+outlined above for transferring to the `rust-embedded-comunity`.
