Present TAC members:
 * Carlos O'Donell
 * Nick Clifton
 * Joseph Myers    
 * Siddhesh Poyarekar
 * David Edelsohn
 * Bennett Pursell (OpenSSF)
 * Adrianne Marcum (OpenSSF)

Agenda:
 * Status of glibc discussions with stewards and the community.
 * Last status: Seeking consensus among the glibc GNU Maintainers/Stewards for use of CTI services.
 * Carlos: It has been a month since the request to review the use of CTI services.
 * Carlos: Several stewards had not commented on the proposal and I have reached out for them to comment.
 * Feedback from Alex, Paul, Joseph, Maxim and Carlos.
 * Carlos: Feedback from Paul is to document more of the requirements and what is agreed upon.
 * Joseph: It would help if the LF IT were able to engage in the discussions to discussion the value of replication.
   * Having LF IT engage in the discussion to improve service replication.
 * Carlos: Feedback from Alex is best answered by using the GNU Ethical Repo Criteria (https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria.en.html)
 * Carlos: For Paul Eggert the feedback is that we need to document more of the requirements and requests to LF IT.
 * Siddhesh: Suggest encoding the requirement publicly as the CTI TAC.
 * Siddhesh: Do we have an agreement that can include forcing the CTI to use non-FOSS?
 * Carlos: No.
 * David: All of our initial discussions have started with FOSS as our base requirements.
 * David: We have always had an informal agreement with Cygnus, Red Hat, IBM, and others to always use FOSS.
 * Siddhesh: If we don't have anything encoded into a contract then the CTI TAC can be the place where we encode that.
 * Carlos: I agree we can add process to CTI TAC to raise issues regarding non-FOSS usage.
 * David: We have public meetings for CTI TAC and the CTI Board so the community can attend to raise issues.
 * Carlos: I have 2 action items:
  * 1. Raise with LF IT to review repo criteria.
  * 2. Raise with LF IT and David Edelsohn to setup cti.toolchain.dev to host public documents.
 * Siddhesh: FYI, I continue to move forward the glibc CNA process.
  * Will use sourceware infrastructure for now and will need migration when we make the move from sourceware to LF IT.

Action items:
 * Create cti.toolchain.dev and document what we have and what we know for the community to have a place to review documents.
  * Involves LF IT to setup domain and infrastructure for documents.
 * Next meetings:
    October 12-13th - Prep pre-reads for OpenSSF Board meeting.
    October 23rd - OpenSSF Board meeting. Pre-reads ready a week prior.
    October 25th - CTI TAC meeting
    November 28th - OpenSSF TAC meeting with CTI TAC presenting.
