Adding the charter to the website:
- Thomas proposed on the mailing list that we post the charter on the website and manage changes in git (http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/moving/2017-March/000191.html). Agreed that this is a good idea.
- We need to agree which mailing list should be used for future discussion on the charter once it's baselined. Agreed that the best approach is to rename moving at dpdk.org to charter at dpdk.org when the project is launched, and use it for any future discussion. The archives will still contain the history of discussions on moving to LF.
- After it's baselined, proposed changes to the charter should be made on the charter at dpdk.org list. They can then be discussed in public on the list, and will also be discussed and voted on at a governing board meeting. A member of the board will indicate on the list if the board approves the proposed change.
- We can also set up a private mailing list for the governing board once its members are known, similar to techboard at dpdk.org.

Membership:
- Mike is working on the membership agreement and expects to have a draft in the next day or two. He'll distribute this as soon as it's available.
- Once this is available, people will need to move quickly to get the necessary approval in place in time for an announcement at ONS.
- Mike indicated that there's no need to elect silver board members or have a board meeting before the announcement, which gives us a little more time.
- The LF team will work on a draft press release which will be distributed for review. This will need to be reviewed and approved by the project members' legal teams.
