Hello ONAP TSC Members:
As documented in the ONAP Project Charter, the TSC is tasked with figuring
out how to populate the TSC in a meritocratic manner beginning 12 months
after the project launch, which was March 2017. Hence it is time to start
planning this transition. To kick this process off, I have the following
suggestions:
- Given that March 2018 is in the middle of the Beijing release cycle, I
suggest we postpone the TSC election until directly after the Beijing
release in late May. We should discuss and approve our method of
populating the TSC by the end of March, but not actually execute it until
late May or early June. Please let me know if you think this is a good or
bad idea.
- I suggest we form a small workgroup to create an initial proposal for
discussion with the broader TSC. Some topics to consider when architecting
the TSC makeup include:
- Constituencies. Are there different constituencies that need
representation on the TSC?
- PTLs. Having an election of PTLs to populate the TSC one possible
way to do it. These PTLs may be from different constituencies, or just
At-Large.
- Committers-At-Large (CALs). Some seats can come from the committer
community at large.
- Particular Roles. Possibly have the PTL from the Integration Team,
or the Release Manager as voting members of the TSC as an example of
"special" roles that should have TSC representation.
- Company Caps - To ensure that a single company does not have too much
voting power within the TSC, a limit (usually defined as a percentage) is
imposed on how many TSC members can come from the same organization (or
affiliated organization).
- TSC size. Common guidance is to keep the TSC size somewhere between
7 and 19. 11,13, and 15 are common sizes. Depending on how the TSC is
populated the size may vary or may be static.
Please let me know your thoughts. If you think a workgroup to put an
initial proposal together is a good idea, please indicate that. If you
think we should have a few open discussions to set an initial direction
please indicate that. If a workgroup seems reasonable, and you would like
to participate in that group please indicate that as well.
I look forward to the discussion.
Thanks,
Phil.
