Nice document. As a new TAC member, this guide was already valuable for me.

Thanks @justaugustus ! I just have a minor formatting nit.

@ossf/tac (especially continuing members) — Please take a look at this section in particular during review and answer what you can.

Also, feel free to ask additional questions!
We can either choose to try to get everything answered this round or I can open an issue for follow-ups, so we don't block merge.


## Open questions

- Are there private mailing lists?

I think the TAC private mailing list is managed by OpenSSF staff.

- Are there private mailing lists?
- Are there additional access requirements not accounted for in this document?
- What are our moderation responsibilities and privileges (GitHub, mailing lists, Zoom)?
- How do we manage rescheduling the TAC meeting to accommodate timezones and/or new member obligations?

I'm not sure we ever created a moderator schedule. As far as privileges are concerned, I believe we can open a meeting, etc. I believe only staff can create repos, mailing lists, etc.

This looks good to me! I added a few minor edit suggestions. I believe the open questions have largely been answered, at least enough for us to publish a v1. @justaugustus let us know if there are additional open questions, or if the open questions have been answered to your satisfaction, and feel free to update the open questions section accordingly.

@steiza — I've dropped the "Open questions" section and opened #430 to track any follow-ups.

Agreed. Merging, as we have multiple approvals here.

I'm not sure we should keep maintaining that file but as things stand I should point out that this should have included a new entry into CHANGELOG.md

@lehors — Thanks for highlighting the CHANGELOG.
I've pushed a PR to update and have assigned you: #431
