This is our proposed draft of 2019 priorities in order of importance.

Initial discussion began in this mailing list thread.

1. Build Release / Community Releases

   • Creation of committees
     • Documentation

3. Review Governance Process
   • The ARB question (see this governance issue)
   • The CLA question (see this other governance issue; may mostly be resolved by the automated CLA stuff?)
   • Working Groups: do we have the right ones and are they staffed appropriately?
   • Are there other gaps in the project's needs? If so, how do we recruit to fill them?
   • Review recent move to Jira to confirm it's complete & documented appropriately
4. Improve Developer Diversity
   
   • Customers (carriers, enterprises) that are using the code, but not contributing
