<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking public comments for the next version of OpenChain Specification.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those new to the OpenChain Specification - The OpenChain project developed a specification that defines a core set of requirements that a high quality Open Source Compliance program is expected to satisfy. Although specification provides
a minimum set of “must have” requirements, a great deal of flexibility is given on how an organization can implement them.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have recently completed the last round of feedback from the OpenChain community and the spec draft is now being circulated more broadly for public comments which concludes on March 22nd. The current draft is available at:<o:p></o:p></p>
