+## Champion definition
+
+A champion is anyone who leads the work on an RFC. It doesn't
+mean it has to be the only person working on it though. They
+are a "person of reference" for a given RFC implementation and
+may or may not know about JS, relying on the help of other
+community members to implement the RFC on the
+[JS Parser](https://www.github.com/asyncapi/parser-js).
