## Define scope of the TSC

See https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/tsc/-/issues/11

* Discused https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/tsc/-/merge_requests/1/diffs regarding workflow

* The Council does not specify each sub-team for TSC. 
  The TSC determines sub-teams (Dev, Docs, Infra, etc.) as needed.

* Decision: TSC is a Technical Steering committee; it does not make all decisions.  Each sub-team 
  should have autonomy within their scope.

* Decision: The TSC will develop a governance document to determine the scopes 
  of the various teams.  This document will not specify each team, but will provide 
  a high-level view of the scope and responsibilites sub-teams may care for on their own.
  No one was assigned this task yet.

* Changes that are system wide or potenially controversial should be approved by the TSC.

* The goal of the above is to keep things simple, and not over-complicate the workflow.

* Decision: The Meeting Invitation for the next meeting will be sent at least 7 days 
  in advance by the upcoming Chair.  Those unable to attend should NACK at least 3 days in 
  advance (No response indicates acceptance of the invitation)

* Decision: The Scribe pushes minutes without a merge request.  Necessary revisions can be made by 
  merge requests.

* Goal: If possible the Meeting Invitation should also include proposed agenda points so that
  the time in the meeting is best used to make informed decisions.  

* Decision: What are the criteria for a formal release? To be discussed on IRC and the 
  decision ratified at next TSC meeting.

## Next Meeting
