TSC - Technical Steering Committee

The election period is from Nov 18, 2024 to Nov 17, 2025

SPC - Strategic Planning Committee

The SPC has the dual role of helping to craft the strategy for LFN's entire portfolio as a whole and to also provide LFN Project leaders some direct insight into the directions of the LFN Governing Board (GB).  The SPC provides recommendations and guidance to the GB, TAC and MAC. Unlike the other groups below, the SPC is considered a formal committee of the GB and sometimes includes discussions of privileged material. As such, the meetings are only open to actual committee members. There is one SPC voting representative permitted for each "Graduated" tier LFN Project. This is typically the Chair or Vice Chair of the community, however a different delegate can be assigned instead.   Meeting cadence varies throughout the year depending on the activity, but meetings are on Monday mornings at 7am pacific time.
