Meeting
=======
TC meetings happen publicly, weekly on IRC. The meeting time should be decided
among TC members after each election. If there isn't consensus on a meeting
time, the option of rotating the time weekly should be explored. The TC
maintains an open agenda on the wiki. A TC meeting is automatically called if
anything is posted to that wiki by one of its members at least one day before
the meeting time. For a meeting to be actually held, at least half of the
members need to be present (rounded up: in a 13-member committee that means a
minimum of 7 people present). Non-members affected by a given discussion are
strongly encouraged to participate in the meeting and voice their opinion,
though only TC members can ultimately cast a vote.
The community should not wait for a formal meeting to raise issues or
bring questions to the Technical Committee (see
:doc:`/resolutions/20170425-drop-tc-weekly-meetings`). In most cases,
asynchronous communication via email or gerrit is preferred over
meetings. If a topic will require significant discussion or to need
input from members of the community other than the committee, start a
mailing list discussion on ``openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org``
and use the subject tag ``[tc]`` to bring it to the attention of
Technical Committee members.
TC status meetings are public and held monthly in the
``#openstack-tc`` channel on the freenode IRC network. The meeting
time is decided among TC members after each election. The TC maintains
an open list of candidate topics for the agenda on `the wiki
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/TechnicalCommittee>`__. Anyone
may add items to the list, and the chair or vice chair will set and
publicize the agenda before each meeting.
For a meeting to be actually held, at least half of the members need
to be present (rounded up: in a 13-member committee that means a
minimum of 7 people present). Non-members affected by a given
discussion are strongly encouraged to participate in the meeting and
voice their opinion, though only TC members can ultimately cast a
vote.
