Agenda

The project's Antitrust Policy is linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important when multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review it, and if you have any questions, please contact your company's legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

Action Item Review

  • See home page Technical Steering Committee for current list of open action items

    • “All Sub Projects with stable versions in Spring25 to update their test statement issues until April 29th”

      • There were no new updates until or after April 29th.

      • Proposal is to keep the issues open for now as valid information, but at max until the Fall25 release candidates are available

      • TSC action to be closed

    • “All TSC participants to review the new API Design Guides within the main branch of Commonalities (see minutes)”

      • Proposal to close together with the approval of r3.1 of Commonalities (see below)

    • @Tanja de Groot to check the project governance and release guidelines for consistency regarding skipping a meta-release for API repositories”

    • Gary Clift report on the new setup of End User Council within next TSC Meeting on May 15th”

      • Gary has no longer the ability to support the EUC due to a job change.

      • @Nick Venezia @massimiliano.troiani @Doug Makishima to decide how to proceed

      • @Nick Venezia and @Doug Makishima volunteered to report in the TSC.

Governance & Project Management issues (@Casey Cain @Herbert Damker )

API Backlog (@Jorge Garcia Hospital)

No new API proposed for this session.

→ Open discussion on how to manage VPN related APIs, from current Site-to-Cloud-VPN to MultiPoint VPN proposal. Will update in TSC as soon as clarified.

  • Proposal how to manage stale API proposals and Sandbox API repositories in work

    • Standby/archived proposal will be included to manage those proposals and sandbox that are proposed but not “used”.

Commonalities (@Rafal Artych )

Identity & Consent Management (@Jesús Peña García-Oliva on behalf of @Axel Nennker)

        NetworkAccessManagement v0.1.0

        knowledge-base-manage v0.1.0

        high-throughput-elastic-networks v0.1.0

        energy-footprint-notification v0.1.0

  • Fall25 M1: declaration of Fall25 M1 milestone

    • Approval from TSC requested for the alpha releases of Commonalities and ICM:
      approved with the release of Commonalities and ICM r1.1.

  • Fall25 M2: release-candidate of Commonalities and ICM - June 7

  • Fall25 M3: first release-candidates of APIs - Jun 21

  • Proposal how to ensure release reviews of API Repository release PR (see also ReleaseManagement/issues/195) to avoid merging a not yet approved API release:

    • A (small) team release-management_reviewers will be defined as codeowners of the CHANGELOG.md file in all repositories

      • With that the team will be automatically assigned to all PRs which are changing the CHANGELOG.md, which should usually be only release PRs (but also exceptions might be worse to be shortly reviewed and approved by the team)

      • With that these PRs can only be merged with an approval by a member of the release-management_reviewers team, avoiding accidental early merges of release PRs

    • Prerequisites:

      • The release-management_reviewers team must have write access to all (API) repositories (can be defined on CAMARA organization level), this is a restriction from Github (all CODEOWNERS must have write access), but they will be codeowners only of CHANGELOG.md files

      • In every CODEOWNERS file an additional line has to added

    • Comments / support for the proposal?

      • No objections, proposal can be implemented.
