| 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](https://static.opentitan.org/technical-charter.pdf). |
| 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. |
