I am no steering committee member, but two comments from here that have to do with process, not technical content: 1. you should not share here information that is not public, this is an open source project with an open mailing list anyone in the world can see; it is certainly the case that non-OCF members will see the messages. Perhaps you do not intend the information in the deck to be private, but we cannot tell that from looking at the footer on each page: Open Connectivity Foundation Member Confidential Information 2. in terms of starting a "new project", you should read these two pages and prepare internally to follow these procedures and respond to any questions that can arise: https://www.iotivity.org/get-involved/feature-development https://www.iotivity.org/get-involved/contribution-guidelines "Starting a new project" in effect means the interested parties making the proposal are prepared to contribute the code, work on the integration, maintain the code (and hopefully actually provide a maintainer to the project), and to convince the project infrastructure that when it comes time to allocate QA resources that there is value in including this new feature in the test plan - of course being a feature in an approved OCF specification feature clearly helps with this argument.
