 The BIDS Maintainers are a key group of members that ensure that the BIDS infrastructure is kept up.
 The maintainers have wide-ranging responsibilities that enable BIDS to continue to grow and succeed.
-All maintainers are listed in the [DECISION-MAKING document](DECISION-MAKING.md#definitions),
-hosted at the bids-specification repository.
 As furthermore detailed in the DECISION-MAKING document,
 maintainers have a set of rights that go beyond those of a contributor.
 
 The following guide draws heavily on a related [blog post](https://matthewrocklin.com/blog/2019/05/18/maintainer)
 on “The Role of a Maintainer” by Matthew Rocklin,
 which is a recommended reading in conjunction with this guide.
