Whereas, it is our sense that the development of the core "open-source" operating system software products of the Foundation should be set by qualified members; and Whereas, We recognize that `core' has traditionally filled this role; and Whereas, We desire to affirm and support the current members of `core' in their technical leadership role; therefore, Resolved, That a committee shall be formed to establish technical guidance over the creation and maintenance of the core "open-source" operating system software products of the Foundation. Resolved, That this committee shall be a Project Management Committee in accordance with section 6.3 of the bylaws of the Foundation, with duties and responsibilities as determined by the Board of Directors, and operating within limits explicitly allowed by policies adopted through a majority vote of the full Board of Directors. Resolved, That this committee shall refer disputes to the Executive Committee for Technical Development only when such disputes cannot be otherwise satisfactorily resolved. Resolved, That this committee shall be known and referred to as the "Operating System Development Committee." Resolved, That it is appropriate and good to refer to this committee in any internal correspondence as "core@NetBSD.org" or simply "core." Resolved, That the current members of `core' shall be immediately installed as the initial members of the committee.
