TC Members:  per the action given to all at the January 20th TC meeting, I’ve reviewed the TC charter and considered how we should proceed. Speaking as a TC member, but informed by my roles as Secretary, IC-SC co-chair, and editor of several work products, I have the following recommendations: For the charter refresh : · Update the deliverables section of the charter to reflect the work that’s been done and the work we project doing: o Define the three major document types § Overarching: Language Spec, Architecture Spec, JADN § Actuator Profiles § Transfer Specifications o Provide for supporting documents of various types · Eliminate the SCs, as  I think 1. They’ve served their purpose of boot-strapping the three major types of documents, and 2. We need to reduce the number of leadership positions so that those who fill them can better focus · It’s not strictly a charter thing, but this implies thinking about possibly defining some other “leadership” roles: 1. Openc2.org website editor / manager (we currently have an editor, from AT&T) 2. Someone monitoring the open source repos (currently an IC-SC responsibility) Aligned with that charter refinement, I’d suggest the following operational model : · Retain our current approach of once-monthly two-session business meetings, keeping the 3 rd Wednesday of the month scheduling o These meetings count toward voting rights · Replace individual SC meetings with routine, twice-monthly working meetings on the 2 nd & 4 th Wednesdays o Agendas worked out by TC co-chairs in concert with work product editors, and announced in advance (ideally a week or so) o Chaired by one of the TC co-chairs with agenda segments led by relevant work product editors o These meetings do not count toward voting rights · Allow for ad hoc working meetings if the need should arise · Consider restarting semi-annual “face-to-face” meetings (obviously these will be virtual for a while); I think it’s been two years since we held our last F2F and I think they’re good for “TC spirit” as well as being opportunities to dive in deep on particular topics Dave David Lemire Systems Engineer HII Mission Driven Innovated Solutions (HII-MDIS) Technical Solutions Division 302 Sentinel Drive Annapolis Junction, MD 20701 Work (301) 575-5190 Mobile  (443) 535-1182
