 Review of Propose FOLIO Governance Model

Team

Discussion and notes:

The following points we're raised:

  • The organizational structure presented may have a negative affect on attracting developers as it diminishes the role of Technology (TC "reports" to CC). It reinforces the concept that FOLIO is more about community and features than technology

  • Terms of 1,2 years may impede continuity - consider longer terms

  • Unclear how the TC and PC should communicate - do decisions need to go through and/or be approved by CC? Consider the case where TC recommends the project put resources on a Tech Debt Item. Does PC decide where resources are applied or does CC, or does CC have to 'approve' PC's decisions? The decision processes should be fleshed out.

  • This doesn't seem to address what many feel is the largest issue for sustainability - where will the development resources come from as we build and maintain more and more functionality

  • The doc should state that all meetings will be open (it's implied but better to be specific)

  • Would like to discuss again next week.
