OpenChain Legal Work Group 2023-07-28 – Outcomes

We covered a lot of ground in this meeting. Check out the full recording below. The current document is here:

Andrew updated the core language substantially and it looks like we are near release:

• https://github.com/OpenChain-Project/Reference-Material/commit/5aeebd37ddcdd2dd19d33a26b571c40277fa8435

Carlo submitted a patch with new language covering the verification that a Declaration is not just pro-forma:

We decided to move non-core language to the Risk Grid and then have that queued as an item for review and reorder after the core is published:

We also discussed what to do when we move to a milestone release document rather than this initial drafting phase:

• https://github.com/OpenChain-Project/Reference-Material/issues/53

Next Steps

We move towards release of the core language with a final Request for Comments, and then we turn our attention to updating the Risk Grid.
