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:

1. Someone proposes the changes by checking out the git repo, editing the document, and running the git-review command line too.
2. Discussion of the changes would happen through the gerrit web interface, with people able to propose changes in line.
3. The author would respond to that discussion, mostly likely making amendments, and uploading those new reviews to gerrit.
4. The proposal would be discussed in a committee meeting.
5. Eventually, the committee members would individually vote +1 on the proposal.
6. 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.
7. 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.
