Overview of Proposal

Labs sponsors are currently limited to "a maintainer of one of the Hyperledger projects, a TSC member or a WG chair". This turns out to be quite limiting, making it often difficult for people to find a sponsor. As a consequence labs stewards get routinely solicited to be sponsor so that the proposal can move forward.

The whole idea of requiring a sponsor in the first place was to provide for some filtering mechanism and weed out unworthy proposals. Having the sign-off from a SIG chair surely achieves that goal so, this proposal is to extend the list of qualifying sponsors to include SIG chairs.

Formal Proposal(s)

Extend the list of qualifying lab sponsors to SIG chairs.
