NEWARK, Del. - ncarol.com -- The OpenSSL Corporation and the OpenSSL Foundation are establishing the Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) to provide expert guidance and strategic direction for our technical initiatives. These advisory bodies are critical in enhancing our governance structure, ensuring that the decisions reflect the diverse stakeholders involved and that our Mission and Values stay aligned with the community's needs.

Purpose of the TACs

The TACs will serve as key advisory bodies, ensuring that the voices of the OpenSSL Communities—Academics, Committers, Distributions, Individuals, Large Businesses, and Small Businesses—are heard and considered in the OpenSSL Project's technical decision-making.
