I anticipate we will have one open source project which holds all the spec source, implementation source and tck source code (which is what OSGi has today). This will be the starting point. If it makes sense in the future to split the work into multiple repos, we can address that then.

Right. But I think Scott may have been asking after the individual version of the participation agreement, rather than the organizational version. I'm pretty sure that's not been done yet.
Yes, I am interested in the individual version. I take from Mike's answer that there will be a distinct individual version of osgi wg participation agreement but it's not available yet.
I have one other question wrt Mike's answer wrt TCK:
Mike: ...The source code of the TCKs is under an open source license as selected by the project that develops the TCKs.
Is that going to be the same project that develops the specs? Or some other/new project for TCK development? Or perhaps not determined yet?
I think so, but it may not be published during the proposal phase. I imagine it will be quite similar to Jakarta's or Microprofile's. You can find links to them at https://www.eclipse.org/org/workinggroups/explore.php.

With regard to committer members of the OSGi Working Group, they must be members of the Eclipse Foundation and also sign the participation agreement for the OSGi Working Group. The latter is necessary for proper IP flow to the created specifications.
Does the osgi wg participation agreement exist yet?
Thanks,
Scott

1) In the osgi working group proposal, it says this about Committer Members
Committer members
Committer Members are individuals who through a process of meritocracy defined by the Eclipse Foundation Development Process are able to contribute and commit materials to the Eclipse Foundation projects included in the scope of this working group. Committers may be members by virtue of working for a member organization, or may choose to complete the membership process independently if they are not. For further explanation and details, see the Eclipse Foundation Committer Membership page.
For those committers that are not working for a member organization it says they 'may choose to complete the membership process independently'. The next sentence link implies that the 'membership process' being referred to is the committer membership process. Does that mean the only requirement for independent committer members to the working group is just regular committer membership? (i.e. signing membership agreement, etc)? Or is there additional process and agreements for osgi working group membership for independent committers?
2) TCK access: As I remember, the OSGi Alliance restricted access to the various TCKs by membership level. How is TCK access going to work wrt the osgi wg? Specifically...for projects that implement specifications (e.g. Equinox-framework, ECF-remote services admin, others)?
