Agenda

• Start the Recording

• We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Minutes

TAC Meeting Invite Changes

• Moving the TAC meetings to use LFX Meeting Management 

• @Casey Cain provided a live demo of the app

• A new invitation was sent that replaces the long-standing meeting invite link. 

TAC Appointed Member Seats

• Discussion of the specifics

• A method to remove members that abandon the positions exists in Section 8 of the LFN Charter

• Term is for one year, however nothing prevents someone from serving multiple consecutive terms.

• Vote was taken - language is adopted 

DTF Programming Committee

• @Casey Cain asked for volunteers for the DTF Programming Committee

  • @Timo Perala

  • Suggestion of assuming the previous committee remains intact event to event rather than trying to build a new committee each time. Folks that are not interested in participating can opt out.

  • The need for providing more collaboration time in the event schedule was noted - need is based upon the post event survey

  • Request to not have the planning calls on Fridays as has been the case previously.

Documenation & Infra

• @Casey Cain talked about revitalizing the Documentation Evangelist Committee and the LFN Infrastructure Working Group based on feedback from community surveys.

  • Further discussion about these topics will take place at the next TAC meeting

  • @Cédric Olliviervolunteered for the Infrastructure Working Group

  • @Robert Varga noted that ODL is currently working with LFIT to add GitHub → Gerrit PR Bridging and this may make a good first topic for the Infrastructure group.

@Ranny Haiby informed the TAC about the Hyperledger Telecom SIG Meeting on Aug 25, 2022 and encouraged everyone to participate.
