Proposed legal & governance improvements for the OpenSSF #95

Open hythloda opened 8 months ago

hythloda commented 8 months ago

There have been some formalizations with governance for projects in the OpenSSF. I think these are all for the better, but if you have a concern, PLEASE let me know soon! I plan to wait for 1 month (2024-03-12) before starting down this path. The current charter you have is blank so this is a clear improvement :)

Here is the full documents

  1. LLC Series. LF Legal would like this project to become a "series" within "LF Projects, LLC". This creates a legal identity for the project & provides various legal protections. We hope to not need legal protections, but it's best to have them. To do that, the TSCs to be listed on the project page on who is in the TSC.

The TSC then needs to vote on the Technical Charter Draft Make sure the mission is accurate.

Choose a delegate to sign the Contribution Agreement Draft

Then the LF will submit the Series Agreement Draft

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

@scovetta @dilanbhalla @mnimmny @rhaning has the project had enough time to review the charter? Any thoughts or changes needed? We are hoping to close out the charter.
