> Dear all,
>
>   As you know, one of the major goals in 2016 has to do with an effective
> transition from an open source initiative, as we have been working so far,
> into a truly FIWARE Open Community whose governance is based on the
> principles of:
>
>    - *Openness*: able to engage those who have something to contribute
>    (following procedures)
>    - *Transparency*: well-defined, documented and publicly available
>    procedures
>    - *Based on meritocracy*: only active technology contributors would be
>    able to govern decisions on the technology
>    - *Market-oriented approach*: Those committed to transfer results to
>    the market gain a prominent role
>    - *Don’t reinvent the wheel*: follow models and best practices from
>    successful OSS communities (concretely, OpenStack)
>
>
>   As you know, a Governance Model was defined and it is currently
> available on our website:
>
>  https://www.fiware.org/fiware-governance/
>
>
>   You can download an updated version of the slide deck summarizing major
> concepts behind this new governance model using the following link:
>
>
> https://forge.fiware.org/docman/view.php/7/5410/FIWARE+Sustainability+presentation+-+transition+to+OS+community.pptx
>
>
>   Now, it is the goal to kick-off the FIWARE Community and one of the
> first steps will be to establish the Membership as well as the FIWARE
> Technical Committee (TC).   We will put in place the necessary actions to
> move ahead during January.
>
>   In the meantime, let's start working at least in the technical front,
> following the defined process through an *interim* FIWARE TC.   This
> FIWARE TC will be formed by two representatives per Technical Chapter
> (following the principles established in the FIWARE Community Governance
> Model) as well as some individuals.   For practical reasons, we will start
> with the following structure:
>
>    - FIWARE Architecture Chapters: it will be the current chapter leader
>    and architect (if one person assumes both roles, please nominate one
>    additional, I believe this is the case of Philipp)
>    - FIWARE Mission Support Chapters:
>    - FIWARE Ops: Silvio and Federico (Silvio: please confirm)
>       - FIWARE Lab: Stefano and Alfonso (Stefano: please confirm)
>       - FIWARE Community Support Tools: Davide and José Manuel Cantera
>    - interim FIWARE Technical Committee chair: Juanjo Hierro
>
>
>   You can check the current members of this interim FIWARE TC by means of
> simply checking the members of this fiware-technical-committee mailing we
> have created and used for this email (you will probably need to enter the
> password that will be sent to you as member of the list):
>
> https://lists.fiware.org/admin/fiware-technical-committee/members
>
>
>   Please note that absolutely ALL seats of this interim FIWARE TC will
> have to run through elections to be completed by mid February.   There will
> be more seats in the FIWARE Technical Committee according to the defined
> Governance Model, mostly because of 1/3 of the seats have to be taken by
> individuals who will nominate.   Note also that once members of the FIWARE
> Technical Committee are elected, they will run an election of the chairman
> (until then, I will simply run this role as interim).
>
>   Besides being able to deal with necessary interim decisions, one of the
> goals of the interim FIWARE TC will be to migrate from the current somehow
> "benevolent dictatorship" model we have now to a more "collegiate
> decision-making" model run by members of the FIWARE TC.  This will be
> implemented "by example", meaning that Action Points identified during the
> FIWARE Technical Committees will have to be taken care by members and
> assignment of those action points will be distributed among members,
> seeking for an equally distribution.    Rules will be defined to assess the
> performance of FIWARE TC members (i.e., establishing karma mechanisms) so
> that those who fail in their duties (because it is found they don't
> accumulate significant karma or negative karma) will loose their seat.
> One of the first decisions of the FIWARE TC will be about deciding what
> these rules could be.    Similarly, there will be rules monitoring
> attendance to the meetings, etc.    Another decision to be taken by the
> interim FIWARE TC will be that of designating two co-chairs, who will help
> the chair in taking minutes, can replace the chair not only in taking
> actions and can replace him in case of absence.   With this measures and
> other that the FIWARE TC may progressively define and implement, we expect
> that this transition from "benevolent dictatorship" to "collegiate
> decision-making" model will take place.
>
>   The first meeting of the interim FIWARE TC will take place next week.
> Since many of you just arrive on Monday, I have setup a doodle for deciding
> on the best date/time.   I believe all of us read remain connected along
> the weekend (although this effectively means not really working so much).
> Therefore, I will wait until Sunday 13:00 to announce the final
> date/time.   Please note that you will vote to decide the start time of the
> meeting which is expected to last 2 hours.

>
>   I will circulate pre-minutes of the meeting soon so that you can propose
> (and elaborate on) items.   Please wait until I send the link to the
> pre-minutes to propose new items.   So far, I have identified the following
> points:
>
>    - Scope of decisions (we have to establish what kind of decisions are
>    run in the TC as opposed to sprint planning and milestones/deliverable
>    management meetings which will remain separate on Monday afternoons)
>    - Rules for meetings and for the assignment of karma to FIWARE TC
>    members
>    - Election of co-chairs
>    - Steps to setup elections of FIWARE TC members
>    - FIWARE Open Source Licenses
>    - Status of QA activities
>
>
>   One of the first decisions to be taken is what is the preferred time and
> day of the week for this meetings to take place.
