The OpenStack Foundation Transparency Policy
--------------------------------------------
This repository contains the OpenStack Foundation Transparency Policy.
See https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/TransparencyCommittee
for more details.
Approval Process
----------------
With proposed changes to the policy, the process would roughly be:
#. Someone proposes the changes by checking out the git repo, editing
the document, and running the git-review command line too.
#. Discussion of the changes would happen through the gerrit web
interface, with people able to propose changes in line.
#. The author would respond to that discussion, mostly likely making
amendments, and uploading those new reviews to gerrit.
#. The proposal would be discussed in a committee meeting.
#. Eventually, the committee members would individually vote +1 on the
proposal.
#. The proposal would be presented to the board, showing the diff, and
the end result. Perhaps several changes would be proposed to the
board at once.
#. Each change that is approved by the board is then merged into the
repo using the gerrit web interface by either the foundation board
chair or the committee chair.
