title: “OpenTitan Technical Committee”
The OpenTitan Technical Committee is part of the [OpenTitan governance structure]({{< relref “doc/project” >}}) and the definitive description of its operations and responsibilities are stated in the OpenTitan Technical Charter. Key responsibilities defined in that document include:
- Oversight of the [RFC process]({{< relref “rfc_process” >}}), including voting to approve, reject, postpone or revise RFCs.
- Creating [Commit Escalation Guidelines]({{< relref “committers” >}}) setting out when Committers should escalate a particular Commit to the TC (e.g. for cross-cutting changes), and when Committers should recommend a design rationale write-up or RFC for wider feedback.
- Maintaining the list of [committers]({{< relref “committers” >}}).
Expectations of Technical Committee members include the following:
- Be active participants in development discussions within the OpenTitan project, beyond just Technical Committee meetings.
- Consider comments and feedback that have been made on proposals during the project-wide review process and ensure any concerns are adequately considered and addressed.
- Ensure that feedback has been sought from all relevant stakeholders, and appropriate effort has been made to find consensus within the OpenTitan contributor community.
- Put aside sufficient time on a week-by-week basis to active proposals and give feedback.
- Act in the best interests of the OpenTitan project.
- Collaborate to deliver on the responsibilities of the Technical Committee (see above).
- Proactively seek to identify contributors who should be nominated for committer status.
