From: Radcliffe, Mark <Mark.Radcliffe@dlapiper.com> To: Thierry Carrez <thierry@openstack.org> Cc: Eileen Evans Esq. (eileen.evans@hp.com) <eileen.evans@hp.com>, defcore-committee@lists.openstack.org <defcore-committee@lists.openstack.org>, Roay, Leslie <Leslie.Roay@dlapiper.com> Subject: [OpenStack-DefCore] Revised Bylaws Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 19:03:01 +0000
I am enclosing the current version of the Bylaws marked to show differences to the existing version (v15 to v.18) and marked to show the changes to the initial revised draft (v.17 to v.18). This second set of changes reflects comments raised at the last meeting of the committee, particularly by Mark McLoughlin on behalf of the Technical Committee. Version 18 has not yet been approved by the committee. These changes are meant to reflect the need to move from a “module” based method of determining when the trademark can be used to a more flexible method which can be agreed upon by the Technical Committee and the Board. As I said to Mark and I think that he passed on to the Technical Committee, the reasons for the DefCore and these revisions are as follows:
I appreciate your comments at the Bylaws committee meeting. We don’t want to have the TC misunderstand the reasons for the bylaws change or
their consequences. These changes are focused solely on determining how and when the trademark can be used. We want to ensure that the TC
has an active role in the decisions. Consequently, we will shift back to the use of “core” for these procedures being set up. However, as
I noted, a number of members of DefCore Committee have expressed a desire to use a word other than “core” for this concept so we may see
an additional change in the name .
