Risk Mitigation List

This page will contain a list of possible problems that may arise during the operation of the Foundation. Add items below. We will create a mechanism to prioritize and add comments in the coming weeks.

• If the employees of "Strategic Members" are also "Individual Members" does this mean that Strategic members effectively get counted twice?
• Is there a risk that one company could gain a controlling majority of the board? If so, is this something we should be worried about?
• What mechanism is used to limit the number of Strategic Members?
• What mechanism exists to remove projects from OpenStack core if necessary?
• Do Gold Member directors retain their elected seat if they leave the company?
• What is the term for Gold and Platinum directors?
• Who gets to name the representatives on the board?
• What mechanism exists to provide transparency into the corporate affiliations of individual members?
• What is the definition of "Strategic Alignment" with OpenStack?
• Why are Platinum Members required to have strategic alignment, but not Gold Members or Individual Members?
• How is "Strategic Alignment" audited?
• What mechanism is used to limit the size of the Board to something manageable?
• Is limiting the size of the board necessary? If so, what is the maximum size?
• How will foundation employees be hired? Who will take charge of the hiring process? And what employees do we anticipate the foundation needing? What can be out-sourced?
