3. Governance documents for OPNFV Series LLC
Technical Charter document
This takes the place of the current OPNFV by-laws ( but much simplified and down to ~6 pages
This is the legal document for the LLC
Some of the highlights
TSC Composition: The current TSC members remain, and the community will have 12 months to figure out the merit-based composition
IP Policy:
The IP Policy remains largely unchanged (e.g. project license, DCO sign-off, etc.)
The TSC approves alternative licenses (i.e. not Apaches-2.0 or CC-BY-4.0) for projects

4. Governance documents for OPNFV Series LLC
TSC Procedures
This replaces the current OPNFV TSC Charter ( charter)
Eliminates several sections (e.g. Sections 2 – 4) in the current TSC Charter that deals with TSC’s relationship with the OPNFV Board as these are not applicable under Linux Foundation Networking (LFN)

5. Notes on OPNFV Series LLC governance
Both the Technical Charter & TSC Procedures documents can be updated anytime after the LFN launch
Changes to either governance documents only requires a TSC vote and legal review by LF Legal and will not require a Board approval
