The project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF. |

@Casey Cain has opened a ticket with LFX Support team
Girish Kumar was identified as missing from the TSC voter list due to an oversight. Casey corrected this and added Girish to the election and meeting minute template.
