The strategic and development direction of OpenTM2 is under the management of OpenTM2 Steering Committee. The membership of this committee consists of a subset of key contributors of OpenTM2 special interest group under Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA). This governing body is expected to ensure the project's welfare and the success of OpenTM2. The Steering Committee may not necessarily participate in the day-to-day coding but is involved in the overall development plans, the alleviation of any bottlenecks, the resolution of conflicts, and the overall technical success of the project.

Membership

There is no term limit for members. Steering Committee members may resign at any time. Any member may be removed from the committee by a 3/4 vote of the committee. Ongoing participation in the meetings is expected. A member shall miss no more than once every four meetings or his/her membership will be considered to be revoked.
