Dovetail is a unique project because there can only be one CVP implementation and CVP will no doubt have impact on the OPNFV brand (either positively or negatively). Without reasonably wide involvement and representation the viability of the CVP program is questionable IMO. I think that the TSC should consider rules that strongly encourage or even enforce a composition that would adequately represent the community as a whole for launch of the program

I do not believe that another project has considered, as we have recently, an addition of many new committers to a project, nor is there another project so directly related to a board committee. I think it will be useful and necessary for us to get TSC guidance on any changes to the project - and with Chris stepping down, I think we should get this guidance before extending invitations to new committer candidates. Thanks, Dave.
