Re: Istio Steering Committee

Thank you everyone who’s putting such thought into this topic. I would like to get a discussion on this onto the TOC meeting agenda at a point where the SIG Contrib Strategy folks have had a chance to discuss and think through the issues (are we at that point yet?) and, since he made the original proposal, when Alexis is available.

Governance is often a reflection of the people involved, the culture they have, and needs they run into. If I were looking at different projects at different points in their lifecycles with different target audiences, I would likely recommend different governance structures that suit them. The goal is to make them and their users successful.

A recommendation for one particular form of governance then gets quite prescriptive. If someone doesn't follow it because it doesn't suit their culture and needs, how will people look at them?

I would hope that the people who make any recommendations around forms of governance have a lot of experience working with them and within them. That gives the people standing among developers to even suggest the items. Those who don't have heavy experience with community governance handing forms of governance to those on projects will likely not be met well by developers.

I would suggest starting with cultural elements that we would like to see present in any form of governance. If these are part of a steering committee than we would need to articulate them in detail so we can teach people about them. Those cultural elements can likely be suggested to many forms of governance.

I'm also reminded that something like 99% of those who use a project never contribute or say anything. If a vocal element in the 1% gets to push their direction than it may have an impact on the 99% that we often don't think about. I've been taught to give everyone a chance to voice their opinions and not let a small loud subset dictate things. Letting vocal end users have an out-sized voice could easily do that. That's why I think it's healthy for project leaders to go out to users and talk with them. This way you can learn from many users... many of which are not vocal in the day to day.

End users having a say in overall direction isn't novel. To me, the
communities and ecosystems that are the most resilient and sustainable
mindfully include everyone in the evolution of the software, and of
the working structure of the community / ecosystem around it.

Perhaps you are suggesting is that end-users having a *binding vote*
in a fixed-Seat governing body, where formal voting happens most often
by convening the holders of those seats at an appointed time, at
which having 60% of the Seats shall constitute a quorum?

I don't think that's the kind of Steering Committee you are
proposing. But that kind of Steering Committee exists in the world,
with spotlights shining on it.

Understood. I'm scattering comments all around, and zooming back out

When I review a lot of the framing material for CNCF, it resonates
well with me. Like the principles of self-governing projects [1] and
"minimum viable governance." With guiding principles, there is often
ambiguity. I've seen in many cases ambiguity causes a sense of
confusion and unease, and guiding principles are translated into
evaluative criteria to add comfort and safety.

I made an analogy during the CNCF SIG Contributor Strategy meeting
today: to me, it's like promotion criteria that is commonly found at
larger companies. In my experience, some corporate career ladders are
set up in ways that have some ambiguity to provide multiple paths to a
promotion. Both managers and employees sometimes ask, "can I have a
specific example of a work project, and generally quantifiable
evidence, that when completed will assure me a promotion?"

In the current incubation and graduation process, people associated
with the projects are bound to ask, "why aren't we getting promoted?
Just tell me what I have to do to graduate, and we'll do it. But we
_need_ to graduate."

I worry that recommending a "Steering Committee" will be confusing,
especially because it is not a well-established set of practices that
are based in commonly held governance philosophies. It is a shorthand,
and a proxy, for something that gives us short term comfort, without
empirical evidence that implementing such a committee results in the
"ends" that we (in a broader community use of the word) want to
encourage. It might even be used for optical purposes to give an
appearance of openness, when in fact the rules are constructed to
favor particular players in competitive spaces.

So, I think that multiple things are true at once:

* the "Have committers from at least two organizations." requirement
  for graduation may constrain the ways that projects evolve over
  time, and act as an unnecessary barrier and bureaucratic requirement
  that will slow them down, rather than help build a sustainable
  project and diverse ecosystem around it

* finding ways to encourage that people in non-coding roles be
  recognized as peers that are committed to a project's mission /
  charter, and be able to take on responsibilities of leadership, is a
  valuable time investment for the SIG

* using the term "Steering Committee" for this effort may cause
  confusion, especially if there is a recommended structure and
  practices that are not well understood and adopted across multiple
  open-source projects and collaborative community settings.

Board of Directors of the ASF (e.g., through the auditing process of
quarterly reporting to the BOD), corrective actions are taken (like
those in the frequently cited Apache Cassandra / DataStax event [2]).

This thread is specifically about steering committees, and what they can
help with especially governance over direction. And avoiding open core
feature withholding.
I think it's good that you highlighted a *specific* concern about
open-core feature withholding. Highlighting concerns can help focus a
conversation toward how they can best be addressed. To me, it is not
obvious that Steering Committees, Governing Boards, Advisory Boards,
and Technical Oversight Committees are a good way to avoid the "slow
walking" of capabilities that a vendor wants to hold as a proprietary
capability.

To me, much of what is generally desired is "insurance" that protects
corporate interest in some piece of open-source software, and any
valuable assets around it. It's not wrong to have corporate interests,
or to seek conditions where corporate interests can be represented in
a multi-stakeholder system. Personally, I find it easier to talk about
them plainly and clinically.

There is a lot of focus on having "a seat at the table" because you
don't want another person to work against your interests. There's a
lot less focus on what conversations are had and what decisions that
are made around that table, and if the table is behind closed doors. I
would like this to be better understood in across multiple communities
and projects.

My advice about open-core feature withholding is a pretty simple one:
deliberations on how to best build software should be done in the
public, in a way that puts the common good ahead of any particular
company's priorities. Setting the culture, and expectations, should
receive the most attention and continuous reinforcement. I think that
signs point to Kubernetes getting that generally right: "Community
over product or company" [3].

When making a deliberation about a feature or direction for the
software, wear your "individual hat" most often, and if you find that
you need to advocate on behalf of your employer, make it explicit by
declaring that you're wearing employee-of-company hat.

If we think that a committee or decision making board is required to
make sound decisions that are free from conflicts of interest (like if
a feature should be withheld because it is to the advantage /
disadvantage of a particular company with a commercial interest in the
software), I'd say that we need more attention on community building.

Istio just launched a Steering Committee and that's why it is relevant.
I think it is too soon to say much about this development. I've
already made some less verbose views of mine (and mine alone) known on
Twitter. Personally speaking, I think that the current seat allocation
formula is problematic, as it can encourage gaming statistics. And
that doesn't address a more fundamental question: what does a Steering
Committee *do*, exactly? And why must it be done privately? Without
getting a seat at the table, or at least being allowed in the room,
you don't know.

I think this all leads to conditions that weaken trust bonds through a
sense of uneven power dynamics. And then everyone starts competing so
they can be in The Room Where It Happens [4].

The TiKV project has applied for promotion to "Graduated" (see https://github.com/cncf/toc/pull/414).

Saad Ali is the TOC sponsor and has called for the vote at the end of the public comment period. (https://lists.cncf.io/g/cncf-toc/message/4847)

Due diligence doc can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KCFeOdTIUXEkJJjaBrge8aIdovwdx4W2HngmUm5nfOA/edit#

CNCF SIG Storage has reviewed the proposal, their recommendation can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15TQERAYI-6NWj3eTGZxKJ_g3kBP9E11v1b-Gx8lFpt0/edit#

Please vote (+1/0/-1) by replying to this thread.

Remember that the TOC has binding votes only, but we do appreciate non-binding votes from the community as a sign of support!

FYI: End User TOC Seat Election Opening for September 2020

Chris Aniszczyk
 

Just a heads up, Jeff will be stepping down from the TOC next month and we will run an election within the end user community: https://www.cncf.io/people/end-user-community

Please see GitHub for details but we will open nominations to the end user community starting next month: https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/518

I want to personally thank Jeff for his service, he has done amazing work showing the impact an end user company can have in the cloud native community by sharing their story: https://www.cncf.io/case-study/intuit
