Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] CRA discussion topics and activities

Hei!

Here are a few more topics & ideas for consideration! I hope this is
useful.

Regarding "CRA impact on Open Source Stewards / foundations"

- Question: To what extent is "code-hosting" a requirement? The CRA's
formulation seems to be somewhat allowing of different models of
operation; And since the CPAN predates the Perl Foundation by several
years (and has always been operating independently), I'm wondering if the
"code-hosting" requirement for this forum is a bit too strict...


Other additions:

- Fully and separately enumerate CRA impact on different entities having
roles throughout the supply-chain; e.g. Language ecosystem providers, OS
packaging providers, Container registries.

- Clarify to which extent the "Importer" role in CRA applies to FOSS
supply-chain entities.

- Clarify to which extent the "Distributor" role in the CRA applies to
FOSS supply-chain entities.

- Clarify if, or to what extent, or how a Manufacturer's liability
landscape is influenced by the cooperation with a OSS Steward.

- Create an overview of existing communities that have created (or are in
the process of creating) relevant standards, resources or guides.

- Create and guide on how the interaction between Manufacturers and OSS
Stewards may influence the long-term sustainability of OSS projects,
including what criteria should be fulfilled to help "long tail" OSS
projects converge towards this.


Thank you Tobie for working on this! I have more to add to these lists,
but I'm a bit wary of pushing too much at one time. :-)
