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