[yocto-ab] YP Advisory Board vote: new membership rights, rules, & obligations

[Osier-mixon, Jeffrey]

Just to be very clear, this document has been in play since the very beginning of the project. The only changes are to the language to match the customs we have been using for 6 years that weren't established yet in 2010.

This document is NOT the contract that each company signed in order to become part of the project. This document declares how the project runs itself.

Basically LF set us up with two legal documents. One is the contract, which all of us need to go through legal to get signed. The other is this roles & responsibilities document, which states how the project is run and is controlled by the Advisory Board. They are separate so we can make changes to the latter document and update it without having to revise everyone's contracts.

So to state again - there are no rights or responsibilities changing. The document is being updated to use the term "Advisory Board" instead of "Steering Group" and things like that.

Hi all - Tracey has spent a lot of time revising the "rights, rules, and obligations" document that applies to the Yocto Project. The changes are mostly to bring it up to date, as she describes below, and to account for the new Platinum level, which Intel needs in order to sign up at that level.

We need a vote *today* on this so we can get the paperwork through. I have talked to some of you individually already. Please review and let me know of any concerns.  Both the old and new one are attached.
There will be a delayed response from MV as I am having our Legal department review the document. I don't recall discussing the changing for the our "Rights" as being part of redefining the Membership levels. I will need to pay more attention in the meeting.

thanks

Tracey's note:

The Linux Foundation would like us to review and approve the attached document.
I've included the original document as well so that you can see the changes made were to correctly reference Yocto Project naming conventions.

You are being asked to review and approve "Yocto rights rules and obligations 20161215.pdf".
