Agenda

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

  • The TAC discusses the ORAN SC project induction, with Sridhar presenting an updated slide addressing compliance with incubation guidelines and clarifying that O-RAN-SC focuses on SMO and RIC components rather than CU/DU network functions, making it complementary to projects like Doranta and OKudu. The vote for ORAN SC induction is conducted successfully

AWS Credits

  • All AWS credit-using projects: Assess and optimize AWS usage due to potential credit reduction next year

TAC Elections

  • Casey reminds members that today is the final day for election nominations, noting that only Olaf has nominated himself for TAC Chair, while Vice Chair and other positions still need candidates.

  • Shankar and Fatih have indicated that they have nominees in mind and will ask them to submit their nomination by end of day
