• Draft calendar: 2022 TSC Member, Co-Chair, and SPC Representative Elections
• Note from Heather: If we take the "past 12 months" for determining active community members, it'll be a mix of "Anuket" (since Jan/2021) and earlier OPNFV/CNTT (until end of 2020) contributions. In case you're a contributor and your contributions might not have been captured (e.g. blogs, whitepapers, ..) by the tools automatically, raise it to the PTL of your project and eventually to the TSC. This is what the Sept-6 - Oct-1 "review of active contributor list" period is for.  The number of contributors that will not be captured in the normal process is going to be small.  There is already an alternate process for people whose contributions are not otherwise captured through the GitHub and Wiki automated system that is outlined in the Charter.
  • OPNFV process for PTL review of active contributor list 
  • In case there is no PTL for the effort, contributors can directly contact the TSC (send email to anuket-tsc list).
  • Proposal to removal MAC rep from the election process.  Several reasons for this.  This is a very hard to fill role,  Discussion of the MAC role pros and cons for including it in the election process.  It is not specified either way in the charter.   The TSC should take a vote on what to do about the MAC representative role.
  • The rep to the LFN TAC and SPC can be by default be the chair, but the chair can nominate someone else.  Discussion to see if it makes sense to change to be an elected position.  Requires that the charter be changed.
  • According to the Anuket Charter, Anuket TAC representative is a co-chair. Thus TAC representative should be removed from the election. There was a discussion on whether we still want to elect the TAC representative. – This has been handled in the charter, so no need for a vote.
  • Line to elections section of WIki: Elections
• Voting to remove MAC rep as an elected position, make it a volunteer position: 3 Yes/2 No/7 Abstain – Yes carried.
• Approve Calendar:  11 yes, 0 No 3 Abstain – Yes carried
