I would like to ask for what OVS had to agree to - I suspect that it is
very lightweight, there are probably not even specific by-laws - I would
not be surprised to find that it was a corporate contributors agreement
only.

I don't know what you mean by a TCO, but I do not believe we should add
a CLA (beyond what I mention below).

I do think we should create a budget oversight group, but a board and
TSC sounds a lot like the default set-up for an LF project which is
bootstrapping - that's not the case for DPDK, we have a technical
governance framework in place already, I do not see the need to set up a
TSC.

It will be good to discuss whether we want to have a membership
agreement or whether we would be happy with a generic organizational
copyright and patent license (explicitly agreeing to license
contributions under the BSD license + patent grant) with a DCO for
contributions, tied to the signed-off-by on patches (which we have
already, unless I am mistaken).

Thanks,
Dave.
