What are the additional elements of the OpenJDK Charter? Where can I read it?
The OpenJDK Charter is posted at http://openjdk.java.net/legal/chartera. It is a legal document that turns over the governance of the OpenJDK Community to the GB. In addition, the Charter: • Describes the makeup of the GB, and the bootstrap process going from an appointed Interim GB to an elected GB. • Assigns the task of constructing and ratifying the OpenJDK Constitution to the Interim GB, and outlines the general shape of the Constitution. • Establishes the GB as the final arbiter of conflict and interpreter of the OpenJDK Constitution. • Describes the procedural processes and timelines for insuring that the Interim GB completes its assigned role. • Provides for an amendment process for the Charter itself. The Charter is a short, high-level document that grants the GB the powers it will need to perform the actual tasks of governing the community. It doesn’t establish the rules themselves. That is for the community, in conjunction with the GB, to do in drafting a Constitution.
