Topic: Gov/Org TF Kick off
Date: Sep 24, 2020 06:57 Pacific Time (US and Canada)

24 Sep 2020

Legal and organizational requirements are inter-related and yet distinct.

Legal requirements:

Updated charter
- Name
- Scope/Mission Statement
- "Interim" TSC(?)
- Our charter calls out to other "non-legal" documents for the remainder of governance/ops
Updated partnership agreement w/ GSMA
A single vote by the existing OPNFV TSC to agree to the updated charter

To make ourselves successful

Roles and responsibilities of TSC members
Expectations/eligibility requirements of TSC
Election processes
Governance at a conceptual and strategic level (e.g., GB, MAC, SPC, TAC touchpoints)
- Short and long term
- Who are we existentially?
- What is our value?
Workstream and project structure – overall org structure and goals
- This is likely the most defining and important – but isn't a legal matter
Other activities that are under the purview of the Operations Task Force (tooling, releases, processes)
Best practices
Operational Guidelines Document Update (https://www.opnfv.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/01/OPNFV-TSC-Procedures-Document-12-5-2017.pdf)
- We also have procedures defined in a number of wiki pages, including project lifecycle, election procedures, etc. We may want to look at streamlining this documentation during this process.
