The Open API Technical Developer Community will initially follow these processes when merging changes from external contributors or from the TDC itself. This guideline document will be adjusted as practicality dictates.

@@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ For each change in the specification we should _always_ consider the following:
  - Tooling.  Strive to support code generation, software interfaces, and spec generation techniques.  Some features may be impossible to support in different frameworks/languages.  These should be documented and considered during the change approval process.
  - Visualization.  Can the specification change be graphically visualized somehow in a UI or other interface?
 
-Spec changes should be approved by a majority of the committers.  Approval can be given by commenting on the issue itself, for example, "Approved by @fehguy".  After voting criteria is met, any committer can merge the PR. (**TODO**: we will want to formalize what voting criteria actually is).

 No change should be approved until there is documentation for it, supplied in an accompanying PR.

 ## 2. Adding members to the TSC
 
-At an open TSC meeting, the impending call-for-nominations period is communicated and subsequently tweeted, no more than once per quarter. Nominations for members happen at closed TSC meetings via a motion by a voting TSC member. A nominee must not receive negative votes from 25% or more of the TSC voting membership via a confidential vote held electronically within a week of the nomination. Approved nominees are expected to comport themselves during the provisional period of four weeks as full members of the TSC, though nominees do not have voting rights until their membership is confirmed. TSC subsequently votes on those nominees in the subsequent TSC meeting. At most there are four voting periods per year, with a minimum of 1 per year.
+A call-for-nominations period may be agreed upon by the TSC voting members and announced in a timely manner through [@OpenApiSpec](https://twitter.com/OpenApiSpec) on Twitter, assuming the TSC membership is not already at its maximum. A candidate may be nominated through a motion by a voting TSC member in a closed TSC meeting. A nominee must not receive opposition votes of more than 25% of the TSC voting membership via a confidential vote held electronically within a week following the nomination meeting. Approved nominees become provisional members and are expected to comport themselves as full members of the TSC during the provisional period of 4-6 weeks (to be determined at start of each nominating period), though nominees have no voting rights. The provisional period is concluded by a second, confidential vote similar to the nomination period's vote. At most there are four voting periods per year (no more than one every three months), with a minimum of one per year.
 
 ## 3. Removal of membership from the TSC
 
-In dire situations, it may be necessary to remove a TSC member, such as behavior that violates the code of conduct (whether non-participation merits removal is a decision left to the TSC voting members). 75% vote (confidential, electronic) of the other TSC. members is required to remove a member. Otherwise, TSC members are removed when they renounce their position by informing the Liaison of their effective resignation date.

 ## 4. Criteria for decisions
 
 The group will strive to achieve all decisions via unopposed consensus. When not possible, unresolved conflicts will be raised to the OAI's Technical Oversight Board (TOB).
 
-The TSC will maintain a publicly available document specifying the process in the contributor guidelines for how proposed changes are merged into the specification. The TSC will document and publicize the schedule of merge parties and release parties for the benefit of the technical developer community.

+The OpenAPI Specification is a community-driven open specification within the [Open API Initiative](https://www.openapis.org/), a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project.
 
-The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) defines a standard, programming language-agnostic interface description for REST APIs, which allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of a service without requiring access to source code, additional documentation, or inspection of network traffic. When properly defined via OpenAPI, a consumer can understand and interact with the remote service with a minimal amount of implementation logic. Similar to what interface descriptions have done for lower-level programming, the OpenAPI Specification removes guesswork in calling a service.

-Use cases for machine-readable API definition documents include, but are not limited to, interactive documentation; code generation for documentation, clients, and servers; and automation of test cases. OpenAPI documents describe an API's services and are represented in either YAML or JSON formats. These documents may either be produced and served statically or be generated dynamically from an application.

-The OpenAPI Specification does not require rewriting existing APIs. It does not require binding any software to a service—the service being described may not even be owned by the creator of its description. It does, however, require the capabilities of the service be described in the structure of the OpenAPI Specification. Not all services can be described by OpenAPI—this specification is not intended to cover every possible style of REST APIs. The OpenAPI Specification does not mandate a specific development process such as design-first or code-first. It does facilitate either technique by establishing clear interactions with a REST API.

 ## Participation
 
 The current process for development of the OpenAPI Specification is described in 
 [Development Guidelines](DEVELOPMENT.md).
-Development of the next version of the OpenAPI Specification is guided by the [Technical Developer Community (TDC)](https://www.openapis.org/participate/how-to-contribute/governance#TDC). This group of committers bring their API expertise, incorporate feedback from the community, and expand the group of committers as appropriate. All development activity on the future specification will be performed as features and merged into this branch. Upon release of the future specification, this branch will be merged to master.
