[cabf_governance] Preliminary Work on Governance Models

[Ben Wilson]

Prior to our face-to-face meeting next week, I think we have some
preliminary matters that we should consider.  

 

For instance, do members prefer that the  CA/B Forum remain the umbrella
organization (if we're going to have an umbrella organization).  

 

Or should a new umbrella organization be created?  Consider these two
diagrams:



 

 

 

The names are just placeholders.  Do we want to use "Forum", "Working
Group," "Standing Committee", "Subcommittee", "Technical Committee", etc?

 

Should governance policies/procedures be documented outside of the Bylaws in
a document titled "Rules of Association", "Operating Procedures", or
similar?

 

Should the umbrella organization have a Board of Directors/Trustees,
Steering Committee, Leadership/Management Council, or similar?  If so,
should there be two such upper-level bodies (Board and a Council) with
differing responsibilities?

 

One reason for the approach taken above is that I am assuming we want
committee/group structures with the ability of each committee/group to have
a different IPR Policy.   Thoughts on this?  

 

Thanks,

 

Ben
