  - Creates other committees for day-to-day leadership

    - Technical Committee

The role of the Technical Committee
===================================

.. rst-class:: colleft

The Technical Committee ("TC") is tasked with providing technical leadership
over all the OpenStack projects. It enforces OpenStack ideals (Openness,
Transparency, Commonality, Integration, Quality), decides on issues affecting
multiple programs, forms an ultimate appeals board for technical decisions,
and generally has oversight over the OpenStack project entirely.

automatically considered an ATC.

  for ATC
