Minutes

Interim TSC election calendar proposal

Remarks:

  • Agreement: Decision was made to have two co-chairs, not a chair and vice chair. As a result, the two chairs will be elected in a single election, followed by the SPC election."


  • Agreement: There will be two separate elections in parallel: one to fill 8 seats from OPNFV TSC members, and 7 seats from the CNTT TSC members



  • Election period of 1 week should be fine

  • Nomination periods of 1 week probably too long → shorten to 2-3 days if needed, results in a "moving" election schedule dates, i.e. deadlines not always on Fridays.

  • Decision was made to have co-chair, not chair and vice.  Recommendation is to run co-chair election as a single election with 2 seats filled, followed by SPC only.  ← I included this above. Ok from remove from here?

Discussion of Trevor's proposed organization strawman   Anuket Strawman Top level Structure v0.5.pptx  Merged workstreams.  Anuket Projects and Workstreams: Specification, implementation, conformance projects. Implementations are a set of flavors based on the reference architectures that are part of the specification projects pool. 

Discussion: What is an RI and what is a second implementation called?  Informal term from Prague meeting (Jan 2020) was Vendor Implementation - where there is a vendor that has an implementation of the RA which conforms to the RC.  It was also suggested that VSI be used as Vendor Supplied Implementation, or VI means Variant Implementation .  Clarity and agreement on these terms is needed.  Mark suggested that RI be seen like a university research project: it is open and community maintained, but not something that anyone would take to production.
