Charter Changes

• OPNFV

  • Updating the charter to respond to the changing requirements - largely driven by CNTT - but not exclusive to only CNTT needs.

  • LFN GB approval not required to change the charter - more a communication strategy and courtesy update.

• OVP

  • Basic change: expand participation from OUTSIDE LFN membership in the committee work. Leadership positions and badges are still reserved for LFN members.

  • Will need ratification by LFN GB @ April mtg.

  • Align badge certification requirements with the Projects to set the requirements

Remote work & Conference platforms - Zoom

• The LF is evaluating the concerns regarding Zoom as well as looking at possible alternatives to Zoom.  However, this is expected to take some time.

• If you're Organization has specific security questions, please reach out to @Casey Cainand he will coordinate with the head of security for The Linux Foundation.  We will use this feedback to help us evaluate other possible platforms.

• The LF has needed to move away from a number of tools due to security concerns and we will need to find a balance that supports our communities, supports geographical concerns as well as protect their privacy.

• The LF is taking the matter seriously and will provide future updates from our security experts.
