        community focus

## Committee Mechanics

The TOC’s work includes:

*   Regular committee meetings to discuss hot topics, resulting in a set of
    published [meeting
    notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hR5ijJQjz65QkLrgEhWjv3Q86tWVxYj_9xdhQ6Y5D8Q/edit#).

*   Create, review, approve and publish technical project governance documents.

*   Create proposals for consideration by individual working groups to help
    steer their work towards a common project-wide objective.

*   Review/address/comment on project issues.

*   Act as a high-level sounding board for technical questions or designs
    bubbled up by the working groups.

## Committee Meeting

Community members are encouraged to suggest topics for discussion ahead of the
TOC meetings, and are invited to observe these meetings and engage with the TOC
during the community feedback period at the end of each meeting.
