2021-05-11 TSC Agenda and Minutes

Meeting Administration

• Linux Foundation Anti-trust Policy
• Agenda Bashing
• Attendance/Quorum (12/15)
  
• Approval of previous meeting minutes

• Proposal to publish RA-1 and RC-1 as GSMA documents
  
  • To widen the audience, reviewers and future contribution suppliers
  • Off-line Vote: Does the TSC agree to publish RA1 and RC1 as GSMA documents?

 There needs to be updates to the legal formal agreement between GSMA and LFN Anuket. The issue is related to the copyright and which organization owns it. 

The vote is to reflect that there is agreement in principle to publish the documents, pending the resolution of the legal (i.e., copyright etc.) questions.

  • Documents to comment on:

    • Anuket Charter proposal for commenting - we plan to close the remaining comments to this next Monday on the weekly meeting. After that LF Legal will review it and TSC will vote if we accept the result. 
    • Anuket TSC Operations and Procedures document proposal for commenting
    • Anuket Project Operations and Guidelines document for commenting
  •  SW: requests word doc and why are all project procedures in wiki?

LF legal feedback: Suggestion is to merge charter and operations procedures documents, because both would need approval by LF legal (simplifies the effort for LF legal). There seems to be general agreement and consensus on the contents.

Original intention to separate the docs was to keep the more formal legal requirements in the charter, and the rest in the operations doc.  Legal changed their guidance to ask for a merged doc because they wanted to use the same procedures for all the policies.

The team is working on the wording for the merged document.  All the TSC members are encouraged to add their comments.

Heather suggests to consider setting aside seats on the TSC for "end users" as opposed to "operators" which is considered more restrictive, especially with LFN now including several members which are end-users but not operators (e.g. Walmart).  Should the group consider changing the Charter to use more inclusive terminology for the "operator" role?
