[eclipse.org-membership-at-large] Proposal to establish the Tangle EE Wo

[Paul White <paul.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

A proposal has been made to establish the Tangle EE Working Group [1]. 

The aim of the working group is to drive the evolution and broad adoption of the Tangle protocol and related technologies that enable the creation of a highly-scalable, open-source, permissionless, secure, peer-to-peer distributed ledger technology enabling the machine economy.

The working group will:
	• Promote the "Tangle EE" brand and its value in the marketplace.
	• Provide vendor neutral marketing and other services to the Tangle EE ecosystem.
	• Define licensing and intellectual property flows that encourage community participation, protect community members, and encourage usage.
	• Define and manage a specification process to formalize the specifications that are defined within the scope of this working group.
	• Manage the overall technical and business strategies of its related open source projects.
	• Establish and drive a funding model that enables this working group and its community to operate on a sustainable basis.

The proposed charter [1]  for this working group is available for review.   If you have any comments or feedback on the proposed charter, please send them to the working group mailing list [2].  All Members of the Eclipse Foundation are invited to join and participate in this working group. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to the mailing list [2].  Based on the feedback and level of interest, the working group will be officially created later this quarter.  

Please feel free to contact me directly, or the mailing list, if you have any questions.
