  Note: The technical charter is tailored for LF AI & Data - Copy is to be created for each project - The technical charter will always need the following information dropped in place: the short name of the project (where [Community Name] appears); a short mission statement following the "The mission of the project is to..." convention; and confirmation of the specific licenses in Section 7 for code and/or data (many projects will not need data and this subjection regarding data licensing in those cases can be removed)
