Introduction of all architecture team members

Arch group members and mandate

Steve Conrad

10 minutes

Who is the architecture team and what is our mandate

• Take on issues that cross multiple building blocks

• Resolve questions from BB groups that cannot be resolved internally. Be the group that makes binding decisions.

• Bring in people to support on specific topics (ie. Uwe Wahser)

• Is our mandate related only to specifications or also with sandbox and reference implementations?

• Ownership of documents/specifications that are cross-cutting (security, UI/UX guidelines?)

• Sub-committee of Technical Committee

Decision making process

• Majority rule of voting members (we will seek to be unified in decisions where possible)

• Voting members:

  • Ramkumar, Steve, Jukka, Aare ?, Wes, Satya, Nico ?

Develop our mandate/priorities to present to GC
