Proposal to publish RA-1 and RC-1 as GSMA documents

To widen the audience, reviewers and future contribution suppliers

@Pankaj.Goyal

@Cédric Ollivier

 There needs to be updates to the legal formal agreement between GSMA and LFN Anuket. The issue is related to the copyright and which organization owns it. 

The vote is to reflect that there is agreement in principle to publish the documents, pending the resolution of the legal (i.e., copyright etc.) questions.  It has passed, still awaiting updates to the legal agreement between GSMA and LFN Anuket.

Temperature check: Future Hybrid events

Based on WHAT YOU KNOW NOW, when would an event with partial in-person participation be possible? – No.
Note: we are all guessing, don't let that stop you from giving a guess
Some of our community members can't even consider this now, apologies for bringing it up!

@Al Morton

Most of the TSC companies are still restricting travel for now and likely to be until at least until mid to late 2022.  At the very earliest in person workshops should not be considered until the Fall of 2022.  

10 min

Continue Release process discussions, Goals and Management

@David McBride

@Al Morton

Meetings for Release process are making progress.  Currently working on how to best do a self release process.  Need a calendar for Kali for the release.  See the link for details.  Some issues need to be worked through:  

  • Documentation (release level, not project level - which is already covered)

  • Validation process

  • Publishing of release artefacts 

Wiki vote suggested (ending by end of TSC meeting next week) for agreeing on the proposed Kali Release Calendar.  Al will create the Wiki vote for this.

Offline vote on wiki: Offline Vote: Does the Anuket TSC approve the K-Release calendar?

@David McBrideshared the L Release proposed schedule.  Overlaps Kali by a bit.  TSC should take a look at it.

Update on Weekly Technical Discussion of the Charter

Charter Ready for Review by Legal (sent

Operation procedures and Guidelines

Documents to comment on:

 SW: requests word doc and why are all project procedures in wiki?

@Gergely Csatari

LF legal feedback: Suggestion is to merge charter and operations procedures documents, because both would need approval by LF legal (simplifies the effort for LF legal). There seems to be general agreement and consensus on the contents.

Original intention to separate the docs was to keep the more formal legal requirements in the charter, and the rest in the operations doc.  Legal changed their guidance to ask for a merged doc because they wanted to use the same procedures for all the policies.

The team is working on the wording for the merged document.  All the TSC members are encouraged to add their comments.

Heather suggests to consider setting aside seats on the TSC for "end users" as opposed to "operators" which is considered more restrictive, especially with LFN now including several members which are end-users but not operators (e.g. Walmart).  Should the group consider changing the Charter to use more inclusive terminology for the "operator" role?
