Dear All;
We are delighted to share that the Steering Committee held its inaugural meeting last week; Thursday Nov. 28th. The meeting minutes will be approved at the next Steering Committee Meeting and then shared on this mailing list. In the meantime, please note the following key highlights:
ORC WG Charter [1]
The Steering Committee has approved the charter. This approval officially enables us to proceed with the critical work required to achieve our goals in order to allow all members to align on next steps and priorities as we move forward.
Cyber Resilience Special Interest Group (SIG) [2]
The first Special Interest Group for this Working Group has been approved. Details concerning its first meeting will be forthcoming and will be open to all ORC WG members which leads to the Cyber Resilience Specification Project which follows.
Cyber Resilience Specification Practices Project [3]
The first Specification Project proposal has been submitted and the project will be created shortly. The Cyber Resilience Practices Project develops specifications designed to help improve the cyber resilience of open source projects and of the products that incorporate these projects and facilitate compliance with related regulation worldwide. Note, this is the umbrella specification project for all ORC related specification projects. During this public proposal phase, please feel free to comment, indicating general interest as well as interest to be committers on the project.
Next Steps

We are currently planning the first meeting of the Specification Committee and anticipate holding it within the next two weeks. This does not impact project creation nor specification project development.

An ORC WG Comment Process is in draft form and will be forthcoming. This process intends to facilitate rapid contributions to institutions that reflect working group consensus.
