<br>
A quick status update on that effort. The TC just merged a change[1] <br>
that will result in the TC and UC acting as a single body, starting on <br>
August 1st, 2020.<br>
<br>
The date was chosen so that the remaining UC members (Mohamed Elsakhawy <br>
and Jaesuk Anh) can finish their term. After that date, the UC mission <br>
will be taken over by the elected TC members, and from there on we'll <br>
have a single elected body, including developers, operators and end <br>
users of the OpenStack software, and inclusive of all types of <br>
contributions to the project.<br>
<br>
In August I'll work to merge the content on the UC governance site and <br>
the TC governance site. This will include adding a new file on <br>
openstack/governance to add and track voters corresponding to the AUC <br>
criteria. Those will be added to the electorate in time for the next <br>
round of elections in September.<br>
<br>
This simplification will make the OpenStack community more easily <br>
navigable, and further remove barriers between contributors with an <br>
operations background and contributors with a development background. <br>
For more information on the motivations behind that change, please read <br>
the original thread[2] proposing it.<br>
<br>
I'd like to personally thank the User Committee members for their <br>
support in that transition, and for all the work they accomplished for <br>
OpenStack in the past.<br>
