+Security Releases
+=================
+
+Just a reminder any comms to DPDK security team should be over encrypted email.
+
+For releases with embargoed CVEs steps 1/2/3/4 above will be skipped.
+
+Patches will be provided by the DPDK security team. They should be applied
+locally and compile tested locally without using external tools like travis
+that will make the patches public.
+
+For validation notes in step 5, they should be obtained from the author or
+DPDK security team.
+
+In terms of sequence, the main thing is that everyone is ready and available.
+Pushing different tags to the server can be done in series with other stable
+maintainers to avoid any issues with tarball/docs generation. A single website
+update can then be made.
+
 That's all.
