Vitess Steering Committee

Overview

This document outlines the mission, scope, and objectives of the Vitess Steering Committee.

Goals

The Steering Committee exists as the overall governing body of the Vitess project, providing the project values, operations and structure.

Scope

The Steering Committee has a set of rights and responsibilities including the following:

  • Charter for Steering Committee.
  • Define and evolve project governance structures and policies, including how contributors become maintainers.
  • Define Steering Committee structure, terms and elections.
  • Decide, for the purpose of elections, who can vote.

  • Establish processes regarding, and provide a final escalation path for any contested project governance related decision.

  • Request funds and other support from the CNCF (e.g. marketing, press, etc.).
  • Delegate appropriate authority to trusted individuals.

Committee Structure

Committee structure will initially be determined by a bootstrap steering committee (see below). Beyond that the steering committee can itself decide to change the committee structure if necessary.

Bootstrap Steering Committee

We will form a bootstrap Steering Committee to serve for one year. The responsibilities of the bootstrap committee will be as follows.

  • Charter for Steering Committee.
  • Define Steering Committee structure, terms and elections.
  • Decide, for the purpose of elections, who can vote.
  • Conduct elections to form the next Steering Committee.
