  • Create, review, approve and publish technical project governance documents.

  • Create proposals for consideration by individual working groups to help steer their work towards a common project-wide objective.

Community members are encouraged to suggest topics for discussion ahead of the TOC meetings, and are invited to observe these meetings and engage with the TOC during the community feedback period at the end of each meeting.
