+When making changes to the Redfish tree, please follow the checklist below.
+
+If any of these are incomplete when pushing a patch to gerrit, either mark the
+patch WIP (Work in progress), or explicitly include the items from the checklist
+that have not been completed.
+
+1. Verify the documentation in Redfish.md includes all properties and schemas
+   that have been added or are used in the commit.
+
+2. Document any client-facing changes in behavior in the commit message. Note,
+   that this should include behavior changes that may not affect your system.
+
+3. Verify that any additional properties exist in the CSDL schema in
+   static/redfish/v1/odata. DO NOT rely solely on the JSON schema files, as they
+   are less restrictive than odata.
+
+4. Document in the commit message what these property additions are used for.
+   Verify that the @odata.type on the schema on which you've added functionality
+   has a version that includes the parameters you've added
+
+5. Verify that testing was performed per TESTING.md and it is documented in my
+   commit message. Redfish-Service-Validator is the MINIMUM required for any
+   Redfish change. Most changes require more tests than simply service
+   validator. If testing was performed on a previous commit in the series, but
+   not the present commit, note that explicitly with "Tested on prior commit".
+
+6. Ensure that you have written unit tests for any behavior that does not have
+   external dependencies (DBus).
+
+7. Read COMMON_ERRORS.md, and verify that to the best of your knowledge no
+   common errors are present in the patchset.
+
+8. Verify that all DBus usages match phosphor-dbus-interfaces, or include a link
+   to the gerrit review for phosphor-dbus-interfaces in the commit message.
