As far as I can see, the LF model provides everything that we currently have, plus it makes DPDK independent of any single company, and it also gives us the option of availing of other LF services if we choose to do so, including the ability to host lab infrastructure for the project, legal support for trademarks if we need that, event planning etc.

The one issue I am aware of is that the Linux Foundation, in our
previous discussions, requested that they take ownership of the dpdk.org
domain name and management of the DNS, to ensure that the website and
community infrastructure were not beholden to a single project member -
is that still an issue?

Regards,
Dave.
