Charter

The Envoy Gateway Steering Committee is the governing body of the Envoy Gateway project, providing decision-making and oversight pertaining to the Envoy Gateway project bylaws, sub-organizations, and financial planning. The Steering Committee is composed of end users and system integrators and will be responsible for the following:

  • Technical Direction and roadmap of the project.
  • Defining the scope and boundaries of the project

General Guidelines

Envoy Gateway will be driven by a steering committee which will decide its direction and governance. In case of any conflict, steering will vote and decide on the direction of the project, though the goal will be that decisions are made unanimously and voting is not needed.

Voting Procedure

In the unlikely circumstance that a vote is required in order to make forward progress, a majority vote among steering committee members will be used. This implies that any vote must be a binary decision between two options. In the case of a tie (due to abstention or future addition of committee seats), the Envoy core proxy maintainer seat will break the tie with a super vote.

Steering Committee

The steering committee is a 6-member governing body that makes directional and strategic decisions for the Envoy gateway project. It will also decide on any changes on its governance, marketing and future direction. Seats will be tied to organizations and not individuals and will be valid for 1 year from the start date.

  • Envoy core proxy maintainers [Member: Matt Klein]
  • Tetrate [Member: Varun Talwar; End Date: 5/16/2023]
  • VMware [Member: Winnie Kwon; End Date: 5/16/2023]
  • Ambassador Labs [Member: Alex Gervais; End Date: 5/16/2023]
  • Fidelity Investments [Member: Venkat Kasisomayajula / Rajarajan Pudupatti Sundari Jeyakodi; End Date: 5/16/2023]
  • Tencent Holdings Limited [Member: Xunzhuo Liu; End Date: 5/16/2023]

Steering seats will be evaluated once per year and new people/organizations can be nominated for being added to the steering committee based on contribution to the project or being a valuable end user. During initial project bootstrap we will also explicitly reevaluate steering membership after each release; alpha; beta; GA. The existing steering committee will decide on any changes to the steering committee based on what is best for the project and community.

Organizations can also be removed from the steering committee due to lack of project commitment on the same yearly basis. This will be determined by a majority vote of the existing committee. The exception to this is the Envoy core proxy maintainer seat which is a permanent seat.

Schedule and Cadence

The project will have one steering meeting every month.

  • Closed but recorded online meeting every 3rd Monday of the month at 9:30am PT.
