Mirror of the repository for technical policies, governed by the OTC (OpenSSL Technical Committee)

OpenSSL Technical Policies

This repository contains the technical policies and procedures established by the OTC in accordance with the project bylaws and the requirements specified by the OMC.

The Policies

The policies are stored in the policies subdirectory, each in a separate markdown file called policy-name.md where policy-name is a short memorable description of the policy such as voting-procedure, design-process, or similar.

New policies or changes to existing policies are proposed and discussed in pull requests and issues of this repository, and finally merged after an approval by an OTC vote. The details are regulated by the policy-change-process and the voting-procedure policy.

The Vote Records

The records of the policy votes are stored in the votes subdirectory, each in a separate file. The format of those records is described in the voting-procedure policy.
