Technical Advisory Council (TAC)
Technical Advisory Council (TAC)
- The role of the TAC is to facilitate communication and collaboration among multiple Technical Projects. Technical oversight of each Technical Project is the responsibility of each Technical Project’s technical steering committee (or similar governance body). The TAC will be responsible for:
- coordinating collaboration among Technical Projects, including development of an overall technical vision for the community;
- making recommendations to the Budget Committee of resource priorities for Technical Projects;
- electing annually a chairperson to preside over meetings, set the agenda for meetings, ensure meeting minutes are taken and who will also serve on the Governing Board as the TAC’s representative (the “TAC Representative”);
- creating, maintaining and amending project lifecycle procedures and processes, subject to the approval of the Governing Board; and
- such other matters related to the technical role of the TAC as may be communicated to the TAC by the Governing Board.
- The voting members of the TAC consist of:
- one representative appointed by each Premier Member; and
- one representative appointed by the technical oversight body (e.g., a technical steering committee) of each TAC Project (as defined herein).
- One representative of any Member may observe meetings of the TAC. Any committers from a TAC Project may observe meetings of the TAC. The TAC may change this at any point in time, including: (a) opening meetings to a broader community; (b) holding closed meetings; and (c) holding meetings open to the public.
- Any Technical Project can become a TAC Project through the approval of the Technical Project’s technical oversight body, the TAC (by a two-third’s vote), and the Governing Board. The TAC and the Governing Board may approve a project lifecycle policy that will address the incubation, archival and other stages of TAC Projects.
- The TAC representatives will elect a chair to preside over meetings, ensure minutes are taken and drive the TAC agenda with input from the TAC representatives.
- Only one Member that is part of a group of Related Companies (as defined in Section 9) may appoint a representative on the TAC.
- Additional information is available in the LF Edge - Charter (rev. 2021-05-25) (1).pdf.
TAC Principles
- We Are Project-Centric
- Projects Are Self-Governing
- No Kingmakers & One Size Does Not Fill All
- Not a Standards Body
- Above All We Want To Help Projects
- We Are An Open and Welcoming Community
- Projects Fit the Mission of LF Edge and Increase the Value To The Community
The above leverages best practices set forth in the CNCF (https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/master/PRINCIPLES.md) as well as LF Networking.
