Agenda

  • 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

LFN Lifecycle State and Guidelines

  • @Casey Cain reviewed current project lifecycle

  • @LJ Illuzzi reviewed the criteria for the project induction, purpose is to lower the bar to make it easier for projects to be inducted

    • Thinking to add two more criteria for LFN - TSC contacts/project lead and positioning statement of how the projects fits under LFN

    • Most attendees agreed with the new criteria

    • @Muddasar Ahmed -what's the purpose of the statement?

    • noted for LFN TAC to be informed of the request and then evaluate if the project fits

    • statement is an alignment of the projects aspirational goals with LFN

  • Resources for the projects

    • LF formation team

    • project onboarding support - for guidance towards sandbox stage

    • seed funding- to assist with new project, these funds come from the organizations involved

      • suggestion to clean this requirement up to make it clear that seed money does not come from LFN

  • Recommendations for  project candidancy 

    • Option 1 LFN informs TAC and the project is a candidate - no decision required from TAC

    • Option 2 The TAC approves candidate projects on consensus

    • Option 3 TAC vote to induct candidate projects

    • floor open for other options

    • Question regarding option 1 - are there checkpoints to see if the projects is still pursuing induction into LFN? 

      • induction status updates should be provided to the TAC

First candidate project -paraglider to be introduced on June 12th
