-The Linux Foundation Open vSwitch Project Charter
-=================================================
-
-Effective August 9, 2016
-
-1. Mission of Open vSwitch Project (“OVS”).
-
-   The mission of OVS is to:
-
-   a. create an open source, production quality virtual networking
-      platform, including a software switch, control plane, and
-      related components, that supports standard management interfaces
-      and opens the forwarding functions to programmatic extension and
-      control; and
-
-   b. host the infrastructure for an OVS community, establishing a
-      neutral home for community assets, infrastructure, meetings,
-      events and collaborative discussions.
-
-2. Technical Steering Committee (“TSC”)
-
-   a. A TSC shall be composed of the Committers for OVS. The list of Committers
-      on the TSC are available at :doc:`/internals/maintainers`.
-
-   b. TSC projects generally will involve Committers and Contributors:
-
-      i. Contributors: anyone in the technical community that
-         contributes code, documentation or other technical artifacts
-         to the OVS codebase.
-
-      ii. Committers: Contributors who have the ability to commit
-          directly to a project’s main branch or repository on an OVS
-          project.
-
-   c. Participation in as a Contributor and/or Committer is open to
-      anyone under the terms of this Charter.  The TSC may:
-
-      i. establish work flows and procedures for the submission,
-         approval and closure or archiving of projects,
-
-      ii. establish criteria and processes for the promotion of Contributors to
-          Committer status, available at
-          :doc:`/internals/committer-grant-revocation`. and
-
-      iii. amend, adjust and refine the roles of Contributors and Committers
-           listed in Section 2.b., create new roles and publicly document
-           responsibilities and expectations for such roles, as it sees fit,
-           available at :doc:`/internals/committer-responsibilities`.
-
-   d. Responsibilities: The TSC is responsible for overseeing OVS
-      activities and making decisions that impact the mission of OVS,
-      including:
-
-      i. coordinating the technical direction of OVS;
-
-      ii. approving project proposals (including, but not limited to,
-          incubation, deprecation and changes to a project’s charter
-          or scope);
-
-      iii. creating sub-committees or working groups to focus on
-           cross-project technical issues and requirements;
-
-      iv. communicating with external and industry organizations
-          concerning OVS technical matters;
-
-      v. appointing representatives to work with other open source or
-         standards communities;
-
-      vi. establishing community norms, workflows or policies including
-          processes for contributing (available at
-          :doc:`/internals/contributing/index`), issuing releases, and security
-          issue reporting policies;
-
-      vii. discussing, seeking consensus, and where necessary, voting
-           on technical matters relating to the code base that affect
-           multiple projects; and
-
-      viii. coordinate any marketing, events or communications with
-            The Linux Foundation.
-
-3. TSC Voting
-
-   a. While it is the goal of OVS to operate as a consensus based
-      community, if any TSC decision requires a vote to move forward,
-      the Committers shall vote on a one vote per Committer basis.
-
-   b. TSC votes should be conducted by email. In the case of a TSC
-      meeting where a valid vote is taken, the details of the vote and
-      any discussion should be subsequently documented for the
-      community (e.g. to the appropriate email mailing list).
-
-   c. Quorum for TSC meetings shall require two-thirds of the TSC
-      representatives. The TSC may continue to meet if quorum is not
-      met, but shall be prevented from making any decisions requiring
-      a vote at the meeting.
-
-   d. Except as provided in Section 8.d. and 9.a., decisions by
-      electronic vote (e.g. email) shall require a majority of all
-      voting TSC representatives.  Decisions by electronic vote shall
-      be made timely, and unless specified otherwise, within three (3)
-      business days. Except as provided in Section 8.d. and 9.a.,
-      decisions by vote at a meeting shall require a majority vote,
-      provided quorum is met.
-
-   e. In the event of a tied vote with respect to an action that
-      cannot be resolved by the TSC, any TSC representative shall be
-      entitled to refer the matter to the Linux Foundation for
-      assistance in reaching a decision.
-
-4. Antitrust Guidelines
-
-   a. All participants in OVS shall abide by The Linux Foundation
-      Antitrust Policy available at
-      http://www.linuxfoundation.org/antitrust-policy.
-
-   b. All members shall encourage open participation from any
-      organization able to meet the participation requirements,
-      regardless of competitive interests. Put another way, the
-      community shall not seek to exclude any participant based on any
-      criteria, requirements or reasons other than those that are
-      reasonable and applied on a non-discriminatory basis to all
-      participants.
-
-5. Code of Conduct
-
-   a. The TSC may adopt a specific OVS Project code of conduct, with approval
-      from the LF.
-
-6. Budget and Funding
-
-   a. The TSC shall coordinate any budget or funding needs with The
-      Linux Foundation. Companies participating may be solicited to

-
-   b. The Linux Foundation shall have custody of and final authority
-      over the usage of any fees, funds and other cash receipts.
-
-   c. A General & Administrative (G&A) fee will be applied by the

-      $1,000,000 of gross receipts and 6% of OVS’s gross receipts over
-      $1,000,000.
-
-   d. Under no circumstances shall The Linux Foundation be expected or
-      required to undertake any action on behalf of OVS that is
-      inconsistent with the tax exempt purpose of The Linux
-      Foundation.
-
-7. General Rules and Operations.
-
-   The OVS project shall be conducted so as to:
-
-   a. engage in the work of the project in a professional manner
-      consistent with maintaining a cohesive community, while also
-      maintaining the goodwill and esteem of The Linux Foundation in

-
-   d. For any new project source code, if an alternative inbound or
-      outbound license is required for compliance with the license for
-      a leveraged open source project (e.g. GPLv2 for Linux kernel) or
-      is otherwise required to achieve OVS’s mission, the TSC may
-      approve the use of an alternative license for specific inbound
-      or outbound contributions on an exception basis. Any exceptions
-      must be approved by a majority vote of the entire TSC and must
-      be limited in scope to what is required for such purpose.
-      Please email tsc@openvswitch.org to obtain exception approval.
