On December 16, 2019, the Libra Association Council voted to establish the Libra Project Technical Steering Committee (TSC) and elected five members, each contributing a unique perspective and bringing valuable domain expertise to the project.
The TSC's role is to oversee and coordinate the technical design and development of the Libra network. Responsibilities include:
guide the technology roadmap for the Libra network;
Form technical working groups to rapidly study selected specific issues;
guide code base development;
Build a healthy and engaged Libra development community.
As a project rooted in technological innovation, technology management is an important part of Libra project autonomy. In the first quarter of 2020, the TSC will publish its technical governance framework and related documents. This will include a process for the open source community to propose changes to network technology, and a transparent process for evaluating those proposals.
