Technical Steering Committee
Two TSC meetings since last AHC: 2025-02-20 TSC Minutes 2025-03-06 TSC Minutes
The TSC decided to require two-factor-authentication 2FA to be enabled for all CAMARA GitHub project organization members (= Codeowners and Maintainers). That will technically be enforced on March 24th. All contributors are also encouraged to follow the recommendations of GitHub and secure their accounts with 2FA. GitHub is offering several options for that.
Sandbox/Incubating/Graduated:
Little change of terminology: the three maturity stages for API Repositories are now named:
Sandbox
Incubating
Graduated
The TSC has promoted in its vote the following nine repositories to “Incubating” based on the achieved requirements - congratulations!
CallForwardingSignal
DeviceLocation
DeviceStatus
SimpleEdgeDiscovery
NumberVerification
OTPValidation
SimSwap
KnowYourCustomer
QualityOnDemand
NumberVerification, OTPValidation, SimSwap will be managed in one Sub Project under the (current) name “Number Verification”. SimpleEdgeDiscovery is part of EdgeCloud Sub Project. The other are currently constituting their own Sub Projects.
The remaining four repositories from Fall24 meta-release (CarrierBilingCheckOut, ConnectivityInsights, HomeDeviceQoD, PopulationDensityData) can apply for promotion to Incubating as soon they are fulfilling the requirements (especially: have public deployments at API providers) by opening an issue in APIBacklog Working Group
API Backlog
TSC approved the following new Sandbox API Repositories (yet to be created):
IoT Device Management
IoT SIM Fraud Prevention API
Application Profile as a new repository in context of ConnectivityInsights to host the development of the existing application-profiles API
Two further APIs are currently to be approved in a TSC vote (running until Friday, March, 14th):
IoT Network Optimization
Dynamic Predictive Connectivity Data
Release Management
Very good progress towards the M4 milestone of Spring25, see below. Keep the good work ongoing until we are done!
Commonalities
Public release r2.3 for Spring25 (Commonalities 0.5.0) available since 2025-02-21
New repository for Tooling approved by TSC, and already created, see below
Identity & Consent Management (ICM)
Public release r2.3 for Spring25 (ICM 0.3.0) available since 2025-02-18
New API Repository for “ConsentInfo” under supervision of the working group proposed, TSC vote ongoing, but majority vote already reached

Release Management
Spring25 (Meta-release Spring25)
13 new APIs and 22 updated Fall24 APIs (of 25) are candidate for Spring25. Total of 35 APIs in 19 API repositories
M2 was declared by TSC on Feb 20th
M3 was declared by Release Management in TSC on Feb 20th
M4
M4 targeted for March 19, so final date for API public releases
All 19 API repositories public release PRs have been reviewed by the Release Management team.
API Sub Projects are working on their public release creation:
12 repositories have release their APIs
7 repositories ongoing
Tentative target for finalizing the public releases is March 14.
REMINDER: all APIs that want to release as stable version must provide at least one test statement. TSC will decide on whether the provided information is sufficient to go for a stable API publication.
M5 targeted for TSC meeting on March 20th
M6 target for March 31st
Fall25 Meta-release Fall25
Kickoff (M0 March 31st) to be prepared (March 31).
M1 April 15th Commonalities and ICM have started work on scope definitions.
DedicatedNetworks and SimpleEdgeDiscovery are first candidates.
Proposed to do one or two "onboarding" session(s) for the Maintainers and Codeowners in the new repositories about the Release Management process and which artifacts they need to create to be part of the (next) meta-release. That session can be recorded and linked to teh RM home page.
All documentation is here: Release Management Working Group

Announcements
Closing WoW for API onboarding and tracking process:
Update for API-onboarding document (PR #171) to align with backlog & Sandbox/Incubated approach.
Reformatted document structure
Proposed reorganization of API backlog:
Backlog trackers to follow repository evolution
New dynamic table (hosted in Confluence) for APIs under specification to avoid duplication with other tracks. Only one source of truth.
Adding marketing & participants template page for APIs.
Once API descriptions were approved, a dedicated page was created for each API in CAMARA webpage.
Confluence page per API repo includes now API description and participants list.
To be updated with spring25 release, and to be included in the meta-release API readiness checklist.
Incubation Process: Incubating Candidates Fall24
New incubation candidates to be presented, including supporters and deployment statement to confirm API validity.
New Role: Eric Murray added as codeowner.

IdentityAndConsentManagement
New issue to prepare Fall25 release
https://github.com/camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement/issues/275Consent URL API vs OIDC consent collection #224
A new repo is going to be created to work on Consent URL/Info API
New issue regarding consent in ICM Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA).
It seems that the flow as currently described is not GDPR compliant.
