My 2 cents, while it is of course critical to understand scope and charter, is deciding who does what that important this early on ? A SIG (like storage) can demonstrate capability by formally

Sorry, I wasn't involved in those discussions. Based on the published SIG charter, the purpose of these SIGs is to "Scale contributions by the CNCF technical and user community" with goals including

Hi Saad Thanks for all your input and pertinent questions. Apologies for taking so long to respond. I think this would be better discussed verbally in person (happy to do that in a public place).

The purpose is documented in the SIG charter that we voted on recently.

Sure, SIGs can do what they want. And the final decision is still up to TOC. But would you support adding a formal requirement for all external project to first get a CNCF SIG to sponsor them? If not,

Well said, Erin:). Saad has done a great job leading Kubernetes SIG-Storage and will be a great tech lead for the CNCF Storage SIG! Thanks, Xing

+1 for Saad as TL Partha Co-founder, CTO Robin.io

absolutely ..... +1 Saad. Not to downplay other SIG's but k8s SIG-Storage da best :-) thanks, --gopal

+1 to what Erin said. We really enjoy how you moderate the k8s storage sig Saad.

+1 for Saad. Can’t agree more..

Saad Unlike K8s TOC & SIGs, the CNCF TOC will own final decisions on project acceptance. alexis <saadali=google.com@...> wrote:

Thanks Quinton and Alex! This is very helpful. Based on that, it seems to me like the responsibilities for this SIG are essentially to collect and disseminate storage related information in a
