Re: proposed change to our proposals process

Alexis, Hi all, As we talk to more projects, a consistent proposals process is emerging. I'd like to describe how this is working now, with a view to the TOC blessing the model. After this, let's ask Dan's team to publish a summary of the process on the CNCF website, plus collateral changes [ shown in brackets below ]. alexis Stages are: 1. Discovery. Project contacts CNCF or is approached by TOC / ED staff. Informal conversation about mission of CNCF and how CNCF can help Project. At this stage, the Project should decide if it potentially wishes to be in the CNCF. The representatives of the CNCF should decide if they are comfortable recommending a move to stage 2. [ CNCF website should state benefits of CNCF to Projects ] 2. Introduction. Project makes a 20 minute presentation to the TOC during a scheduled TOC meeting. In the first 10 minutes: present a slide deck should explain why the project exists, who is using it, and where it is going. Not more than 5 slides. In the second 10 minutes: Q&A. At this stage, the TOC has the opportunity to invite a Project to make a formal Proposal. This invitation occurs when, in public forum, a voting TOC member agrees to act as Project Sponsor and the Project agrees to proceed. [ CNCF website should link to example 5-slide deck eg. Prometheus intro ] 3. Proposal. Project and Sponsor create a written proposal using the published proposal template. On completion, this document must be posted to the CNCF proposals list and TOC list. At this stage, the TOC may provide feedback and ask questions. The TOC may request a formal presentation of the Proposal during one of its regular meetings. This stage is completed when, during a TOC meeting, the TOC states that a vote will take place. [ CNCF website should link to template plus example proposal doc eg. Prometheus ] 4. Vote. The TOC votes on the Project Proposal on the public TOC mailing list. A successful vote requires 6 TOC members, out of a possible 9. Projects that are successful will then proceed to Incubation. [ CNCF website should link to the charter statements that explain voting. Also, CNCF website should describe Incubation. ] Final note: stages 2 and 3 may not happen in the same meeting. _______________________________________________ cncf-toc mailing list cncf-toc@... https://lists.cncf.io/mailman/listinfo/cncf-toc |
