We are investigating mailman 3, blogging, and Matrix, among other solutions.
Correction to TC member election section of bylaws
Drivers: fungi, dhellmann
Status: On hold until the next Foundation vote
This was discussed in the joint leadership meeting in Vancouver. The change requires a member vote, and the Board passed a resolution allowing the Foundation Secretary to propose the bylaws change as part of the next Board election (early 2019). We anticipate other bylaws changes at the same time.
Section 3.b.i reads "An Individual Member is an ATC who has..." but should read "An ATC is an Individual Member who has…"
Ownership and publishing for the operations guide
Drivers: dhellmann
Status: Resolved, they will start a SIG to own the repository for the guide so it can be published to docs.openstack.org.

Trove Project Health
Drivers: ttx, theJulia, mugsie?
Status: In progress
During the public cloud issues session at the Rocky Forum someone in the room raised the question of whether Trove is still actively maintained.
ttx looked up Trove as part of the "liaison" duties -- at first glance it appears to be alive and kicking. Will report more when I know more.

Actively Monitoring Teams
Drivers: dhellmann
Status: In process
During the retrospective at the Rocky Forum we discussed more actively engaging with project teams and SIGs to anticipate issues we can help resolve.
Dragonflow did not produce a Queens release. Their last release was 4.0.0 on Sept 1, 2017. Should projects that do not prepare releases be considered official? -- dhellmann
Rally may be moving out to GitHub? https://github.com/xrally and https://xrally.org -- dhellmann

Status of Electorate
Drivers:
Status: New
During the retrospective at the Rocky Forum we discussed the status of the TC electorate, and what is perceived as a low level of engagement. This needs a bit more research to compare recent elections so we can understand how things stand, and then we should talk about ways to improve the situation.

Improving the help-wanted list
Drivers: dims
Status: New
During the Board/TC/UC meeting at Vancouver, we came up with an idea on what we can put together a better way to ask platinum/gold and other companies in the eco system for help (crossing traditional job descriptions and volunteer/skill match websites)

project infrastructure governance proposal
Drivers: dhellmann
Status: Under discussion
corvus started a discussion about the relationship between the foundation projects and the infrastructure management team as that team shifts from being governed by the TC to being a foundation-wide project.
References
finding help for the unified CLI team
Drivers:
Status: Needs a driver
During the office hours on 7 June we talked about adding OSC to the "help wanted" list. We decided we did not have enough information about what the team needs to write it up yet, so we need someone to gather that information and to propose the addition.
