"*" = duration codified in the charter
Some notes:
- Merger after-effects: Because the eligibility period is 12 months from September 6, part of the eligibility period predates Anuket (started Jan 1). The Insights query will need to take the union of Anuket Insights contributions for 2021 and CNTT/OPNFV legacy contributions for the time period Sept 6, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020.
- Some of the contribution types outlined in the charter are not captured in Insights (e.g., blog posts, whitepapers, etc.). ONAP handles this by providing the automated data and leaving it to contributors to provide information about those contributions with the approval of the TSC to adjust their total. Recommendation to use the same process during the PTL active contributor review timeframe for Anuket.
- Because some portion of the Doc projects 2021 contributions were not captured in Insights (due to GitLab POC work), recommendation is to use the PTL review process to ensure active contributors for that work are not lost. (Note that other projects doing Gitlab POC work are mirrored with existing Gerrit and so therefore their work has been captured in Insights).
- Also note that MAC rep was never meant to be bounded by the Active Contributor TSC process, and in fact has never been an official elected position. If elected, should probably be through a separate process, but recommendation is to continue providing MAC representation on a volunteer basis.
- Also recommendation that if no nominations are received for TAC rep or SPC rep that TSC chairs will serve in that role. (Note that by convention, we have typically elected a separate SPC rep but not TAC rep – just as historical data point).
