9. Plans for 2024-5 : New Topics
● There was an item tabled for consideration by the Telco Work Group and it has just been
approved via email by the OpenChain Steering Committee via email.
● For over a year Telco have been working on the topic of SBOM quality. Initially they were
considering the utility of developing a specification that would describe such quality to assist
companies, but recently they have consolidated the material into a reference guide:
https://github.com/OpenChain-Project/Telco-WG/blob/main/Draft-OpenChain-Telco-SBOM-
Guide_EN.md
● They asked for permission to release this guide as an official OpenChain document and have
prepared the rationale here:
