  The Board is responsible for overseeing the project's image, outreach, and public statements. The Board are the custodians of the project brand and public image.

  

- The Board is responsible for setting and enforcing policies, including legal policies, licensing and contribution policies. This may be delegated to a Legal Affairs committee, at the discretion of the Board.

+ The Board is responsible for setting and enforcing policies, including things such as governance, contribution, and licensing policies.  Legal policies or aspects are discussed with Red Hat Legal through the Red Hat Liaison as needed.

  

  They are responsible for ensuring that the project serves its users, and remains in a healthy productive relationship with Red Hat, on which the project depends for its continued success. The board may be called on to act as liaison to other external stakeholders, such as software projects which rely on CentOS as their deployment platform.

  

The CentOS project is officially a legal entity of Red Hat, and therefore
legal aspects of the project need to be coordinated through the Red Hat
Liaison. There is no ability for the Board or any theoretical Legal Affairs
committee to operate within the bounds of a legal agreement outside of the
Red Hat interaction. We simply reinforce that legal inquiries and aspects
fall to the Liaison to coordinate as needed.
