Technical Representatives consist of Active Technical Contributors (ATC). ATCs are defined as having "At least one approved/merged patch in one release is required in the preceding 12 months prior to the election." This will be determined by the union of a Gerrit query and a GitHub query. The Gerrit query will be run against both https://review.opencontrail.org and https://gerrit.tungsten.io until the former has been retired for a full 12 months. Since a Gerrit change may consist of multiple patch sets, but only the final patch set that is merged enters into the repository there may be an ambiguity as to who the contributor is. For the purposes of ATC status, the author of the final patch set will be considered to be the contributor of the merged change. The TSC will have the right to inspect the script/query which is used by the Linux Foundation to pull the list of ATCs.
