## Technical & Infrastructure
* Domain Transfer - project-related domains should be transferred to the Linux Foundation via an issue created here https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/theme/portal/2/group/19
* Github Repos - project-related repositories must be located in a neutral LF Github organization. The current GitHub organization owner must invite the user "thelinuxfoundation" (no quotes) as an owner. GitHub’s documentation for how to do that is here: https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/transferring-organization-ownership
* Zoom account - projects may request a zoom sub-account for scheduling community meetings. Please submit a ticket to [CDF Helpdesk](https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/theme/portal/2/group/19), identifying key community members who should have access.

## Legal
* Any registered marks for the project must be transferred to the Linux Foundation.
* Licenses: the CDF only permits [OSI licenses][osi-licenses]. Projects may decide which OSI permitted license(s) to adopt for the source code and other content produced by project community.
* Intellectual Property: projects may decide their preferred approach, typically enforcing a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) or a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). The Linux Foundation offers a CLA service via [LFX/EasyCLA][easycla] which projects may decide to adopt. Projects may also adopt.
### Trademarks and Service marks
* Any registered marks for the project must be transferred to the Linux Foundation.
* Marks that are not registered can benefit from a certain degree of protection: a common law trademark provides protection for a symbol, logo, product name, or other words or marks that identify the source of goods or services before it is registered with the state or federal government. If someone began using a confusingly similar mark with similar goods/services, it may be possible to enforce those common law rights (e.g., cease and desist letter, law suit).
