As with all Joint Development Foundation (JDF) projects hosted by the Linux Foundation, overall governance and strategic direction for the ToIP Foundation are provided by the Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee raises and considers strategic issues and makes decisions on topics that affect the entire Foundation including membership, budget and the disbursement of funds, creation and management of Working Groups, and the approval/adoption of official deliverables among others.
Schedule: meetings take place on the second Wednesday of each month from 10:00-11:00 PT / 17:00-18:00 UTC.
See the Steering Committee Meeting Page for agendas, minutes and recordings of all meetings.
The Steering Committee does not have a formal Chair. Rather, its activities and decisions are moderated by the ToIP Executive Director.
Membership is limited to 25 steering members of the Foundation (60% of seats reserved for organizations with at least 100 employees).
All Steering Committee members are listed on the ToIP website.
The Steering Committee has one designated subcommittee - the Communications Committee.
The Communications Committee is comprised of members or appointed delegates of the Steering Committee.
All information related to meetings and deliverables are available on the Communication Committee page.
Steering Committee meetings are open to all Foundation members, though only Steering Committee members (or those invited to address specific topics) actively participate in meetings beyond observing.

For the protection of all Members, participation in working groups, meetings and events is limited to members, including their employees, of the Trust over IP Foundation who have signed the membership documents and thus agreed to the intellectual property rules governing participation. If you or your employer are not a member, we ask that you not participate in meetings by verbal contribution or otherwise take any action beyond observing.
