Mission Statement
Enabling secure interoperability at the Grid Edge to accelerate adoption of advanced analytics by providing a set of implementable specifications
Goal: Build a set of specifications that will enable interoperability of edge applications on the device edge.
How to Achieve: Develop a clear framework that defines the minimal level of definitions required to enable interoperable applications that is agnostic to any specific hardware implementation outside of what is minimally required. Define a minimal level of specification require to implement said framework.
Impact: Design a secure Common Operating Environment that is massively scalable (millions) on devices with limited resources over constrained networks. (See Hardware Requirements for device resource details.)
The governance for this project will be using the Community_Specification mode. To give GEISA independent legal existence, LF Projects, LLC personnel will sign the draft Series Agreement on behalf of the GEISA working group.
This document provides the governance policy for specifications and other documents developed using the Community Specification process in a repository (each a “Working Group”). Each Working Group must adhere to the requirements in this document. Each Working Group is part of the GEISA project, which has been established as Grid Edge Interoperability & Security Alliance (GEISA) a Series of LF Projects, LLC. The policies of LF Projects, LLC, available at http://www.lfprojects.org/policies/ apply to participation in each Working Group.
Please review these materials and let us know if you have any questions. Please note this project will be using the CSL License for any specifications and the Apache License – Version 2.0 for any source code developed.
Rationale for Governance
We seek to provide a consistence and measurable level of quality to guide the decision making for the GEISA governance and technical committees.
Implications:
Without these principles, exclusions, favoritism, and inconsistency would rapidly undermine the growth and evolution of GEISA and related LF Energy projects
The GEISA initiative should seek to align with the principles and mission statement
A conflict with a principle will be resolved through discussion and if necessary, changing the framework of the initiative
