It's mostly triggered by defcore, hence it supposedly being a
subcommittee of the defcore comittee. The defcore changes are the ones
related to trademark policy, changing the definition of the "Core
OpenStack project" and distinguishing between the Integrated Release and
the OpenStack Project.

The ATC related changes are in response to feedback from the TC?

The changes to the Legal Affairs Committee are because its current
de-facto structure differs from what's defined in the bylaws.

In summary, "defcore stuff with some scope creep". That said, the
defcore committee proper seems to recommend not proceeding with any
bylaws changes at this time.
